Does Excessive Masturbation Stunt Height Growth?

I ve been masturbating for at least a year now, and I ve still got years to grow before I m done growing. I m in high school (freshman year), and I m worried that excessive masturbating (1-2 times a day) will stunt my growth. My father is 6 2, and I m 5 7. I just wanna grow taller, and I haven t been doing growing lately, whether its due to puberty being a slow process, or due to masturbation, I m unsure. I ve heard that stationmaster won t effect my growth, yet many people say that you release a lot of nutrients when you masturbate, therefor your releasing a lot of protein and other nutrients etc that could be used to help you grow throughout the day. It seems like everyone is contradicting themselves in this theory, and I m confused.

HI,
THANKS FOR USING HEALTHCARE MAGIC.
THERE IS NO RELATION BETWEEN MASTURBATION AND STUNTED GROWTH. MASTURBATION IS A NORMAL AGE RELATED PHENOMENON. IT IS A MYTH THAT PEOPLE ARE BELIEVING AND PROPAGATING THAT MASTURBATION CAUSE HEALTH HAZARDS. THESE ARE COMPLETELY FALSE AND LACK ANY SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE.SO NO NEED TO WORRY.
IF YOU WANT TO GROW TALLER, DO REGULAR EXERCISES THAT WOULD INCREASE THE HEIGHT SUCH AS SKIPPING, STRETCHING ETC. ALL THE BEST.
THANK YOU.
