A member asked:

I am 17 years old boy..does matrubation affect to my height growth.beacause i am too short than my friends..

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Masturbation does not affect height. It may indirectly do so if you get addicted to it by taking you away from a healthy lifestyle consisting of good food, rest and regular exercise. Good health , good diet and staying healthy is the best way to increase your chances of gaining height and you do have some years ahead when u can grow more.
