There is no fixed age, but usually height grows till puberty and an year or so after that. Mostly it is genetic, depends on growth hormone, slightly influenced by diet and physical activity.

लड़कियों की लंबाई (Height) बढ़ने का समय शरीर के growth process और puberty (यौवनावस्था) पर निर्भर करता है।
1. Growth कब तक होता है?
ज़्यादातर लड़कियों में height की growth 10 से 16 साल की उम्र में सबसे तेज़ होती है।
Puberty शुरू होते ही (लगभग 11–12 साल में) growth spurt (तेज़ी से लंबाई बढ़ना) होता है।
पहला पीरियड (menarche) आने के बाद लगभग 2 साल तक height बढ़ती रहती है, लेकिन स्पीड धीरे-धीरे कम हो जाती है।
ज़्यादातर लड़कियों की height 16–18 साल तक जाकर रुक जाती है। कुछ rare cases में 1–2 cm growth 20 साल तक भी हो सकती है, लेकिन बहुत कम।
2. Height रुकने का कारण
हमारी लंबाई बढ़ती है क्योंकि हड्डियों के सिरों पर growth plates (epiphyseal plates) होती हैं।
Puberty में estrogen hormone की वजह से ये growth plates धीरे-धीरे बंद (fuse) हो जाती हैं।
जब growth plates पूरी तरह बंद हो जाती हैं, तो हड्डियाँ लंबी नहीं हो पातीं, और height बढ़ना बंद हो जाता है।
3. किस पर निर्भर करता है?
Genetics (माता-पिता की लंबाई)
Nutrition (खाना–पीना)
Exercise और lifestyle
Hormones
In English:
A girl’s height growth depends mainly on puberty and genetics.
1. Till when does height increase?
Most girls grow fastest between ages 10–16.
During puberty (around 11–12 years), a growth spurt happens.
After the first period (menarche), height usually continues to increase for about 2 more years, but at a slower pace.
For most girls, growth stops between 16–18 years. In rare cases, a small increase (1–2 cm) can happen until age 20.
2. Why does height stop?
Height increases because of growth plates at the ends of long bones.
During puberty, estrogen hormone causes these growth plates to gradually close (fuse).
Once the plates are fully closed, bones can no longer grow in length, so height stop.
Next Steps
अगर लड़की अभी growing age (puberty के दौरान) में है:
1. Nutrition (पोषण)
प्रोटीन से भरपूर खाना (दूध, दही, अंडा, दाल, पनीर, मछली, चिकन)।
Calcium और Vitamin D (दूध, दही, धूप, हरी सब्ज़ी)।
Zinc और Iron (नट्स, बीज, दाल, पालक)।
Junk food और soft drinks कम करें।
2. Exercise और Physical Activity
Regular stretching (योगा जैसे ताड़ासन, भुजंगासन, सूर्य नमस्कार)।
Sports: Basketball, Swimming, Cycling, Skipping (rope jumping)।
Daily कम से कम 45–60 मिनट एक्टिविटी।
3. Sleep
8–9 घंटे की नींद, क्योंकि growth hormone (GH) नींद के दौरान ज़्यादा release होता है।
4. Lifestyle
Smoking / Alcohol से दूर रहें।
Stress कम रखें।
---
अगर लड़की की growth plates बंद हो चुकी हैं (16–18+ years):
Height बढ़ाना मेडिकल तौर पर संभव नहीं, लेकिन:
Correct posture (सीधी रीढ़, shoulders back, लंबा बैठना-चलना)।
Yoga और stretching से body लंबी और attractive लगती है।
Healthy lifestyle और fitness से overall personality बेहतर लगती है।

In English – Suggestions for Increasing Height
👉 Remember: Height increases only until growth plates are open (usually up to 16–18 years). After that, only posture and fitness can make a visible difference.
If the girl is in growing age (during puberty):
1. Nutrition
High-protein foods (milk, curd, eggs, pulses, paneer, chicken, fish).
Calcium + Vitamin D (dairy, sunlight, leafy greens).
Zinc & Iron (nuts, seeds, beans, spinach).
Avoid junk food and aerated drinks.
2. Exercise / Physical Activity
Regular stretching (yoga like Tadasana, Bhujangasana, Surya Namaskar).
Sports: Basketball, swimming, cycling, skipping.
At least 45–60 minutes of activity daily.
3. Sleep
8–9 hours of good sleep, since growth hormone (GH) is released during deep sleep.
4. Lifestyle
Avoid smoking/alcohol.
Manage stress.
---
If the girl is 16–18+ and growth plates are fused:
Height can’t increase naturally. But:
Correct posture (straight spine, shoulders back).
Yoga & stretching to look taller.
Fitness and healthy weight make personality more attractive.
👉 आसान शब्दों में:
Puberty age (10–16 yrs): सही nutrition + exercise + sleep = max natural height.
After 18 yrs: Height बढ़ाना possible नहीं, सिर्फ posture और fitness से improvement।
Health Tips
exercise including streching ,yoga , healthy life style, stress free life, good sleep for 7 hrs

Hello Ma’am,
In most girls, height growth stops around 16–18 years, as the bone growth plates (epiphyses) close after puberty. Some may gain a little more height till 20 years, but after that, significant increase is not possible. Genetics, nutrition, and puberty timing decide the final height.
If more questions are in your mind, you can contact me on WhatsApp at nine one one nine two five five six nine nine for free consultation.

Female height growth is driven mainly by the growth plates (epiphyses) in the long bones, which close under the influence of rising estrogen at puberty’s end, preventing further increase in height.
Most girls reach their final adult height 1-2 years after menarche (first period), which commonly occurs between ages 10 and 16.
By age 18, more than 95% of girls have completed height growth unless rare endocrinological or genetic factors are present.
After age 18, it is extremely rare for height to increase
Next Steps
No active intervention is needed for normal cessation of height growth at age 24.
If there is worry about abnormal short stature or delayed growth, consider consulting an endocrinologist for evaluation (including bone age assessment, hormonal profile)
Health Tips
Beware of products or advertisements claiming to increase height in adults, as these have no scientific validity.
Excessive worry about adult height can affect self-esteem; focus on overall health and fitness.
If there are symptoms suggesting hormonal or metabolic disorders, a medical evaluation is recommended.
