Question:
What are the signs of a growth spurt?
Answer:
The primary sign is that you are growing at a rate greater than two inches per year. That is the definition of a growth spurt.
Secondary signs that indicate you are in a growth spurt or nearly there are the signs for being in Tanner Stage 3.
Question:
My left testicle hangs lower than the other, but I have most stage 4 characteristics. Am I in the later stages of 3 or in stage 4?
Answer:
Please remember that I can’t see you. I only know what you mention in your note, which doesn’t give me nearly enough information. If you have many of the characteristics of Stage 4, then I would assume you are in Stage 4. What do you get from the Tanner Stage Calculator for Boys?
Question:
The Tanner stage calculator gave me 3.5
Answer:
A 3.5 would mean that you are in your growth spurt or just about to start it.
