It is scientifically believed that the physical development of girls starts rapidly 1 to 2 years before the onset of menstruation. During this, the height of girls increases rapidly. Along with this, the development of other organs also happens rapidly.
  • The puberty stage of girls comes between 8 and 13 years. At the same time, physical development happens rapidly at the age of 10 to 14 years. Once menstruation starts, the height of girls can increase for 1 or 2 years. Meanwhile, their length may increase by 1 to 2 inches, but this does not happen with all girls. In some girls, the height does not increase at all after periods.
  • Actually, after periods, the length of those girls increases, who have not reached their average height before the period starts. Generally, most girls reach their adult height by the age of 14 or 15, but many girls grow taller even at a younger age. It depends on when a girl gets menstruation for the first time.

Also, after menstruation, the speed of increasing the length slows down. At the same time, the weight of girls can increase during puberty.
