Is my height growth during puberty normal at 14?
Patient's Query
Hi doctor i am A 14 year old male who is confused about he’s going through puberty or not basically my father is 3 inches shorter than I am already and I am 14. My puberty started when I was around 12 and that age I was about the same as as my father, so I am confused that maybe my height has stopped growing and might might stop and I might have grown like maybe one centimeter in the past few months so I’m confused about my height growth. I’m currently 5 foot 10 and my father is 5 foot seven so when is my puberty going to end? Experienced about armpit hair three months ago and they are growinf very slowly like 1cm in 3 months and only some hair war 1cm and some were even half cm small facial hair little bit here on my chin about three months ago, and it isn’t growing at all since that time.
Answered by Dr. Babita Goel
It's normal to feel confused about growth during puberty. Since you're 14 and already taller than your father, your height can still increase as puberty continues into late teens. The slow growth of armpit and facial hair is also normal. For personalized advice, I recommend visiting an endocrinologist, who specializes in growth and puberty-related issues.
