How To Increase Height In A 14 Year Old Girl?
Question: Hai my daughter is 14.... she stop growing.... she is only 153 cm.... started menarche when she was 10. Pls adv if she can grow more. Txx
Brief Answer:
yes she can
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to health care magic. Girls generally have a growth spurt at the time of puberty.
Usually the peak surge is between 10 to 14 years. Some get this peak earlier if they attained puberty earlier.
The maximum height is usually reached by 14 in girls and 16 in boys. But I would suggest you to get your child examined for anemia and nutient deficiency which can impair growth at this age.
If found and treated for problems like anemia and nutritional deficiency there is still scope of increase in height.
Hgh treatment can be undertaken if the growth hormone levels are low and prescribed by your endocrinologist.
Do not start Hgh without getting her investigated by endocrinologist
Wishing your child good health. Regards Dr Arun
