Question
I am 15 years old and I am 170CM tall. I experienced premature ejaculation at 13, and then masturbated for a year before I quit. Now I have a lot of body hair, and I started to grow armpit hair in sixth grade, while none of my peers my age have. Also, I have changed voice. Is this considered early puberty? Will early puberty prevent me from growing taller? I haven’t grown since I started masturbating, do I not have the potential to grow anymore? Hi, I’m glad to answer your question.
Answer
It is recommended to undergo a bone age X-ray and growth hormone stimulation test in a Grade A3 hospital’s Growth and Development Department to observe if there is a lack of growth hormone. Go to bed before 9 PM, exercise more to stimulate the secretion of growth hormone, and eat more calcium-rich foods, all of which are beneficial for growth. If the growth plates close, they cannot grow back, which is not considered early puberty. Wishing you health!
