does masturbation stops height - #24348
I am really curious about this thing that's been bugging me. My younger brother, who's 15, always seems to be searching online about how does masturbation stops height. It’s kinda weird, but he spends way too much time worrying about it, like everyday. He’s been really self-conscious about his height lately, and honestly, I don’t get where this is even coming from. Just a few weeks ago, he started saying he read somewhere that does masturbation stops height and that he should cut back on it if he wants to grow taller. He’s always tall for his age, and both my parents are tall, but he’s convinced that this habit is messing with his growth. Like, he’ll ask me if I think it’s true all the time! I tried to tell him that there’s no solid proof or anything that supports this idea; I mean, how does masturbation stops height really? But he still seems to think it could have an impact. I wonder, as allopathic doctors, can you clarify if there's any connection? And how does masturbation stops height actually work, if it does at all? Just trying to help him out here, 'cause I want him to chill and not worry so much about this while he's going through puberty and all.
