Is it possible to stunt penis growth with an eating disorder during 1 year of puberty?

Malnutrition and lack of hormones can hinder growth plates. It is possible for all body parts to be affected. A healthy diet and lifestyle is necessary for normal growth.

That would affect general body growth and only if it lowers testosterone- may affect size of penis
