Question
I have always had the habit of masturbation, but I feel that the speed of my height growth seems to be slower than expected. I want to ask if this could be related to masturbation? I am now in adolescence, aged 11, and worry that this might affect my height development.
Answer
Long-term or frequent masturbation may lead to severe psychological burden, which can affect seminal quality, libido, and sexual function. Possible symptoms include premature ejaculation, impotence, and even inability to climax during normal sexual activity. These may impact fertility. It is recommended to quit the habit of masturbation. You can help yourself by following these steps: first, be persistent, focus on studying and working during the day, reduce thoughts about sexual matters, and participate in social activities and sports as much as possible, avoiding solitude. By these methods, you can gradually break the habit of masturbation.
