View allI'm 17 years old and I've been masturbating almost every day since I was 15. I'm really curious if this habit could be causing an increase in my prolactin levels, which I heard might lower testosterone. Could this affect my beard growth?
Masturbation itself doesn't significantly affect prolactin or testosterone levels in a way that would impact beard growth. However, excessive or compulsive behaviors may affect your overall hormonal balance, which could indirectly influence things like energy levels or hair growth. If youre concerned, its always a good idea to talk to a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
