Hello Naman,
Masturbation does not affect height. If your height has stopped increasing since last six months, this does not mean that it will not increase further. Height usually increase till the end of adolescence that is 18 years. Abd the increase is not always regular as per months. It may increase suddenly to. So you need not worry.
Thanks.
