A member asked:
Is it weird my spermarche was at 10? would this affect my height growth at all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The earlier that puberty begins, the earlier it typically ends. That said, Height growth is primarily determined by genetics. Males are likely to approximate their father's height. Illness, steroid medications, poor nutrition/protein intake, lack of sleep, can all decrease height growth.
