Accepted Answer

Not overall growth: An injury to the penis should not have anything to do with overall growth of the body. If you mean can it stunt the growth of the penis during puberty, that really depends what the injury was and how extensive the damage is.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Maybe : The effect of running depends on the distance and the age of child.  A prepubertal child who runs longs distances and does not maintain adequate nutrition may not have the needed building blocks for growth.  A separate issue is the effect on bones as far as density and injury is concerned. Excessive running and loss of necessary body fat will interfere with menstrual cycles in girls.

Accepted Answer

No: This isn't the kind of radiation that damages genes or tissues. Anyone telling you otherwise is fearmongering. You might as well be afraid of songs on the radio. What WILL stunt Junior's growth as a person is if he/she spends his/her developing years playing video games instead of developing physically, mentally, and socially.
