Endocrinologist,  's  Response
Hi: I am an endocrinologist. Boys have an pubertal spurt of growth during puberty. If you had started to ejaculate, that means you are definitly beyond stage 3 of puberty. But you have to understand that your growth depends on your genetic potential. With out your height, and your parents height, we really cant assess your stature. Bone age is also very useful. Depending on these reports we can decide on further investigation and treatment if required. But every treatment is possible at this age.
