A member asked:
Could masterbution at age 15 had prematurly fused my growth plates by age 16 resulted in short height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No Relation: If it were, there would be a lot more short people. Short height, however, could be affected by genetics, poor nourishment, very low body fat (like in some athletes), extreme dieting, testosterone/estrogen or testosterone/estrogen-like supplements.
