Patient's question:
I am 13 years old. I started masturbating in the sixth grade, almost twice to three times a week. I noticed that my breasts have grown, I have gained weight, and I have grown very slowly in height. Is this a sign of precocious puberty?Doctor's answer:
I suggest you give up the bad habit of masturbation in a timely manner, as it will severely affect your physical and mental health. It will affect your growth and development, impact intellectual development, slow down development, and in severe cases, it may even lead to kidney deficiency and memory loss. I recommend that your parents take you to the hospital for a follow-up check-up in a timely manner. Then, see if the doctor recommends treatment. It is also suggested that you pay close attention to rest daily and avoid eating hormone-containing foods.
