Masturbation is normal and healthy, and won't effect how her body develops. It's also perfectly normal for a girl not to have started her periods by the time she's 14. Some girls do not start until they are 16 or 18, so your friend definitely shouldn't be nervous that she's somehow damaged her body because she hasn't started yet.
A doctor can't tell if you masturbate, but honestly. they don't really care if you do or don't, they're just looking to make sure everything is healthy down there, not to find out if you are sexually active. All the best. [ hailebop's advice column | Ask hailebop A Question ]

A gynecologist (gyno) cannot tell if you masturbate but if your friend has cut herself, somehow, by masturbating, then a gyno will assume that she does.
