Growth got stunted
I was addicted to masturbation during my peak teenage in between 16-18 and did it excessively like 2-3 times a day could that have lead to my growth getting stunted as i haven't grown since , I am still 5'8 and my parents are 5'6 and 5'0 feet tall , I know it doesnt affect growth but as I did it way to much excessively could it have lead to it as I used to feel very weak after that, all this happened during covid when I was home 24/7 , I had decent vegetarian diet with little to no exercise

Masturbation does not affect growth. Physical height is mainly genetic, diet, Physical exercise, any other hormones disorder may affect it only slightly.

It doesn’t affect your growth. Your parents height and yours is nearly similar. So no worries regarding your height. Take nutritional foods and protein rich diet so that you doesn’t feel weak.

Your height is normal according to your parents height. Masturbation doesn't have any correlation with height.Weakness after masturbation is usually a normal thing,and it remains for some time.
Next Steps

Masturbation, even if frequent, does not affect height or stunt growth. Your height is actually above genetic expectation, so nothing to worry. The weakness you felt was temporary; focus now on good nutrition, exercise, and sleep for overall fitness.

Excessive masturbation does not stunt height or affect growth — height is mainly determined by genetics, nutrition, hormones, and physical activity. At 5’8” with parents 5’6” and 5’0”, your height is actually well within the expected genetic range. The weakness you felt was likely due to repeated energy expenditure and lack of exercise during that period, not hormonal damage.
However, if you still feel fatigued, low in stamina, or have performance anxiety, a hormonal evaluation (testosterone, thyroid, vitamin D, B12, etc.) may be helpful to rule out deficiencies and restore full energy levels.
For a detailed assessment and recovery plan to rebuild stamina and hormonal balance naturally, you can contact me directly on eight zero zero nine eight two one three three two for personal consultation and guidance.
