Patient's question:
I am 13 years old. I started masturbating in 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:
Hello, if masturbation begins during the developmental period, it can lead to severe adverse effects on physical development, including stagnation and deformation. Height development may be severely restricted, and so on. It is recommended to exercise more regularly, avoid spicy foods, wear loose underwear, avoid using heavy blankets, and not stay in bed too long. Do not indulge in excessive sexual fantasies; engage in more outdoor activities to release impulses; you can also explore activities that interest you.
