does sperm increase height - #22350
I am always thinking about growth and height, especially since I hit my late teens and I’m a bit taller than my friends, but sometimes I wonder if there's more to it. Like, I heard a random rumor the other day that does sperm increase height? Sounds super weird, right? But I've been doing some research and there are these claims that somehow relate sperm and growth, and I just can’t wrap my head around it. I mean, I was 5'6" in high school and now I'm almost 5'9", so does that mean my growth plates are still active? Or could it have anything to do with the fact that I am getting older? I went through puberty a bit late; my friends were all taller than me for years, but now I’m catching up. It just seems odd to me that sperm would have any effect on height whatsoever. Can anyone explain if there’s any science behind this whole does sperm increase height thing? I really need some clarity on what’s true and what’s just, like, nonsense. I only ask because, you know, I’ve heard it from some friends and I don’t want to believe something that might be totally off base. Thank you for any input, appreciate it!
