Sayain bodies can withstand injuries that could kill off humans in a second. The sayain's are a warrior race,so evolution has made them almost invincible to injury and chronic disease. That said, i headcanon that Goku and Vegeta have a lot of invisible injuries. Goku defiantly has blunt abdominal injury which happens when the abdomen takes a direct blow without an open wound. This injury would send a human straight to the ER considering it can cause internal bleeding, but sayain's can handle it. There are many scenes of Goku taking a blow to the stomach. During the cell saga, Goku had suffered from a heart virus which still lingers to this day.
The fandom tends to poke fun at Vegeta's height considering he's the shortest warrior on the team right after krillin, but why is he so short? The main way people grow in height is by eating enough nutrients which will be used to grow their bones and other vitals in the body. Sayain's need every inch of their intestine so that their body can absorb nutrients to build muscle and strength bones. I headcanon Vegeta (in the same way as Goku) has had severe injuries in his abdominal area. Because his intestine has been damaged, Vegeta is left with malabsorption, which is when the intestine has trouble absorbing nutrients from food due to trauma, infection, or surgery. In Vegeta's case it's from trauma. Vegeta's body is suffering from malnutrition, so his body stopped growing an taller.
