Puberty is generally considered over when you've experienced full physical development, which typically ends in the late teens to early twenties. For females, this might mean breasts have fully developed, and regular menstrual cycles have been established. For males, it usually coincides with full genital development, and the voice has deepened permanently. Another key indicator is when growth in height has stopped for about 1-2 years. If uncertain, a healthcare provider can offer personalized insights based on growth charts and physical markers.
