Signs of Stopped Height Growth in Girls
Disease description:
My child is 17 years old now. I've noticed that over the past one to two years, she hasn't grown much in height, so I'd like to ask: what are the signs that a girl has stopped growing taller?

A girl's cessation of height growth may manifest as the closure of growth plates. This phenomenon typically indicates that the growth hormone naturally secreted by the pituitary gland is only sufficient to maintain basic bodily functions, and the potential for natural height increase has been lost. Additionally, it may be表现为 little or no noticeable change in height over one to two years. Moreover, it could also present as the full development of secondary sexual characteristics and the completion of puberty, which usually signifies that height has essentially stabilized.
