Does precocious puberty make you short?

Patient's question:

I am 15 years old and 170 cm tall. I experienced nocturnal emissions at 13, later engaged in masturbation for a year, and have now stopped. I have a lot of body hair; I started growing armpit hair in sixth grade, while my peers haven't yet, and I have also started voice breaking. Is this considered precocious puberty? Does precocious puberty stunt growth? After masturbation, I haven't grown at all.

Doctor's answer:

Hello: According to what you said, does precocious puberty affect height? Guidance: Hello: Height is actually greatly related to congenital genetics and has achieved good development. In my opinion, you are just developing earlier than your peers, not because of masturbation. However, you should know that long-term excessive masturbation is unhealthy for your body. At your age, you should still be growing taller. It is uncertain whether it can grow to 180.
