Patient's question:
I feel that masturbation largely depends on the body's secretion of sexual hormones. I don't know if this understanding is correct? The terrible reality is that with the emergence of masturbation, I started developing at the age of 11 and a half.Doctor's answer:
Masturbation does not cause precocious puberty and does not affect your sex hormone levels. Before puberty, the annual increase in height should be 5 to 7 centimeters, so your increase is normal. During puberty, the annual increase in height should be around 10 centimeters. If this occurs, it should be considered that the growth hormone level in the body is low, and it is not much related to precocious puberty. Let alone you are not precocious, the definition of secondary sexual characteristics in boys before the age of 9 is precocious puberty, and you only appear around the age of 11.
