Patient's question:
14 years old, likes to build muscle. I heard that building muscle stimulates the secretion of male hormones. Excessive secretion of sex hormones can lead to precocious puberty. Since precocious puberty can cause bones to close faster, does building muscle also lead to faster bone closure?Doctor's answer:
Height is related to genetics, nutrition, and other factors. It is recommended to pay attention to nutritional balance and appropriate exercise training. Proper exercise will not affect height growth but will promote physical development. If the height is significantly lower than that of the same age, X-ray film can be considered. Check the endocrine function indicator to see if callus healing has been closed and whether there is endocrine dysfunction.
