Hello dear..
First of all remove all myths & misconceptions from your mind about masturbation.
In fact, Masturbation is completely normal & doesn't have any bad effect to the body and mind.

Height of an individual is determined by Genetics, Environmental & Nutritional factors and Hormonal factors (most important the Growth Hormone secreted by pituitary gland in brain)
An individual stops growing in height after the fusion of the Epiphyses (growth plates) of the long bones, which occurs by the age of 19-22 yrs in males.

After this age, height of a person can be increased only through limb lengthening procedures by surgical means.

One more thing...avoid consuming any over the counter medication which claim to boost your growth hormone & increase height...it may be harmful.

Wishing you Good Health.
Thanks and take care.
