Question 1

would a natural rise in testosterone levels stunt growth if levels increased by 1.5 times for an extended period but still remain within normal range?

Accepted Answer

Not at your age: For a natural rise. Concern if ur taking anabolic, androgenic steroid injections or topical testosterone gel. Serum testosterone is likely peaking at age 18-years, so enjoy!

Question 2

if tea tree essential oil can cause gynecomastia in prepubertal males, is it possible that it can also stunt growth in pubertal males-by inhibiting growth spurts due to lower testosterone (tea tree is estrogenic)?dabbed undiluted to scalp 6 months

Accepted Answer

Unrelated myth: In four decades of pediatric practice I have never heard or read of any impact of this oil on anyone &amp; don't accept the idea. To do so chemicals would need to enter the bloodstream in an amount that influences the body, which does not happen. As many as 1/2 of males will develop gynecomastia on one or both sides as a transient reflection of existing estrogen they make naturally.

Question 3

when we masturbate for 3-4times in 24 hours(1 day),can it stunt our height growth?can it affect growth by testosterone level or anything?

Accepted Answer

: Masturbation will not stunt your growth. However, you need to engage in productive activities as excessive masturbation may not be good for your mental health.
For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. 
Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health.

Question 5

when i was 17 i took a one time dose of 500 mgs of testosterone enanthanate or could of been deca durabolin did this stunt penis or bone growth?

Accepted Answer

Probably not...: One-time use alone would be probably unlikely to affect your general and penile growth. But, it's worthwhile to observe the pattern of growth among family members such as parents, uncles, cousins, nephews. If conforming theirs', you probably grow like they do. If in doubt, see a local expert.

Meanwhile, practice healthy lifestyle and avoid overindulgence and obsession of any form.

Question 6

can soy milk's phytoestrogens stunt the growth of an adolescent during puberty, by lowering testosterone which prevents growth spurts, and closing growth plates early?

Accepted Answer

Don't think so: There are people all over the world who eat soybeans and their products as a big part of their normal diet, and we don't see any outbreak of stunted teens. The key is to have variety in one's diet, so not to eat the same things every day, unless those same things have ingredients from a variety of food types. Variety helps assure balanced nutrition.

Question 7

at 17 years old i took a shot of depo-provera testosterone at 500 mg. i stopped after reading side effects. worried did this stunt penis or bone growth? truth

Accepted Answer

One time : Shot should not be major issue.  If symptoms occur follow with your PCP

Question 8

does increased testosterone close your growth plates?

Accepted Answer

Growth plates: Unlikely but I am puzzled by your statement "increased testosterone". Please explain.
Is it normal increase in your own testosterone production as you are going through puberty and beyond?
Are you taking testosterone that has not been prescribed for you?

Question 9

is it true that testosterone being converted to oestrogen and not the testosterone itself is what closes growth plates?

Accepted Answer

Yes it is true : Yes it is true testosterone is converted to Estradiol by astamatase and that is resposible for closure of growth plate.                       So in a way testosterone is indirectly responsible for closing the growth plates by converting to estradiol(estrogen).

Question 10

is growth hormone and testosterone bad for you?

Accepted Answer

GH &amp; testosyerone: Yes when produced in your body they are good for you. When taken as shots or pills almost Always not.
