Do you grow tall after puberty?

Answer 1

Puberty has little if anything to do with your final height. This is determined by genetics and that governs the amount of human growth hormone produced by your pituitary gland in your brain. Many people experience a growth spurt between ages 18 and 22; long after puberty.

Answer 2

Height cannot be increased in the adult unless through surgery. In persons of less than 21 years old height increase is natural and can only be enhanced by the use of Human Growth Hormone (HGH) , however, the use of HGH is very dangerous and not indicated in the normal individual, it is reserved for growth and some specific disorders. It is possible to obtain an increase in apparent height through some specific exercises and treatments that target posture and ligaments development.

Answer 3

Under normal circumstances the vast majority of a person's growth is done during childhood and puberty, with very little (if any) occurring once puberty has finished.

For females, generally a girl will not grow any more once their first menstruation has occurred. (Normally this coincides with the end plates of bones sealing over, with the result that any further growth in height cannot happen). This means that the average girl will not grow much more in height after the age of 14-15.

For males, growth can occur up to around the age of twenty-two, although the vast majority of growth will occur before that age.
