Boys who stop growing during puberty may show signs such as increased testicular volume, growth of pubic and underarm hair, and a deeper voice. Girls may exhibit gradual breast development, maturation of pubic hair and external genitalia, and the onset of menstruation. Additionally, visiting a hospital for an epiphyseal line examination can help determine growth status; if the epiphyseal lines are already closed, it usually indicates that height growth has ceased.
