Adolescence is the peak period of reproductive system development, during which reproductive function is gradually improved. Some teenagers will solve their own needs in order to meet their physical needs. “Do it yourself” is actually a very common thing, but many people have concerns, such as whether it will affect the height and whether it will be harmful.
Let’s talk about “do it yourself” today.
1. Teenagers’ doubts: Will it affect height?
Specifically, it may be affected, which is related to hormones, nerves and other reasons.
1. Prevent the secretion of growth hormone
When you “do it yourself”, the body will increase the secretion of sex hormones, thus hindering the secretion of growth hormone, and may even lead to premature closure of the epiphysis. For boys, the closure of the epiphysis generally occurs around the age of 18 or 19, and the true closure is around the age of 22. If you “do it yourself” too early and too frequently, it will easily lead to premature closure of the epiphyseal line, affecting height, or even stopping growth.
Even if some parents have excellent height genes, their children may be short.
2. Promote the body to secrete the neurotransmitter dopamine
Do it yourself will stimulate the body to secrete dopamine, a neurotransmitter that transmits messages of excitement from the brain to make people feel good. The higher the concentration of dopamine in the body, the more pronounced the various sensations will be. However, If dopamine is excessively secreted for a long time, it will easily lead to an imbalance of the body’s self-regulating secretion function, thereby affecting bone development and height growth.
3. Intake of a large amount of zinc
Frequent “DIY” will consume a large amount of zinc in the body, resulting in zinc deficiency in the body. Zinc is essential for children’s growth and development, immunity, reproduction and heredity. Zinc is also involved in the synthesis of hormones related to body development, including growth hormone closely related to height. Sufficient zinc in the body can ensure the secretion of growth hormone and promote the normal development of height. However, “DIY” can easily lead to zinc deficiency in the body and affect the normal development of height.
Second, whether there is any harm depends on the degree.
Some people think “do it yourself” is a shameful thing to do. Actually fromThe normal behavior that exists in nature is a common way to solve needs, and there is nothing shameful about it. Therefore, to correctly understand the behavior of “do it yourself”, first of all, there should be no psychological burden on the mobile game resource network.
Some people will experience fatigue, memory loss, dizziness and other symptoms after doing it by themselves. In fact, these are usually the negative effects of psychological effects. Some people think that doing it by themselves will endanger their health, and the resulting fear will induce bad mental symptoms, which will form a vicious circle after being manifested physically.
There is no unified answer in the medical field about how to overdo . Everyone’s body is different, and everyone’s standards are different. How long is appropriate is entirely up to personal feeling. If you feel the following, it is likely that you have overdone it:
1. The next day you feel weak, physically and mentally exhausted, and your work and study efficiency has dropped significantly. At this time, you need to make appropriate adjustments to allow your body to get enough rest;
2. If you have been thinking about related issues in your mind and you can’t control it, it means that you need to adjust your body and mind;
3. Discomfort symptoms such as local numbness or dull pain; symptoms such as urethral burning sensation and urination discomfort when urinating; female secretions increase, and sometimes there will be dull pain in the lower abdomen. When these symptoms appear, pay attention to the appropriate amount.
