At the age of 13, does a boy still grow taller after experiencing nocturnal emission?

Patient's question:

I am 13 years old. I just woke up this morning and had an ejaculation. I'm afraid I won't grow taller. Do 13-year-old boys still grow taller after ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

There is no relationship between these two things. Ejaculation has no connection with height growth. Ejaculation is a normal physiological phenomenon that can occur intermittently after entering puberty. It doesn't mean that you won't grow taller after experiencing ejaculation. At the current age, you have just entered puberty. The period after entering puberty is the fastest time for height growth. Generally, height is fixed around the age of 18 to 20. So, you will still grow in the future. As for how much you can grow, no one can determine it at the moment.
