View allI'm 17 and a guy, and I've been masturbating every day since I was 15, but I've cut back now. I'm a bit worried if this might have caused a rise in my prolactin levels, leading to low testosterone. Could this also be why I'm not growing much of a beard?
Excessive masturbation does not directly cause an increase in prolactin levels, which can affect testosterone production. However, chronic stress or certain medications can lead to elevated prolactin levels. To help regulate testosterone levels and promote beard growth, you can consider taking supplements like zinc and vitamin D. Additionally, maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise routine can also support hormone balance.
