I'm worried about my height. I used to masturbate and noticed my height was increasing, but ever since I stopped, it seems like my growth has stalled. I'm 15 and only 167 cm, but my 13-year-old friends are taller, around 170 cm as measured in school. Is there any chance that this has to do with masturbation, or could it be related to my Adam's apple? I've heard that having an Adam's apple can stop height growth. Can you help me understand what's going on and how I might increase my height?

It's understandable to be concerned about your height, but there is no scientific evidence that masturbation affects height growth. Height is primarily determined by genetics and the growth plates in your bones, which typically close after puberty. The presence of an Adam's apple is a normal part of puberty and does not affect height. Focus on maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and proper sleep to support your growth during this period.
