I'm 22 and just found out my TSH levels are really high, like 150. Could my habit of masturbation be causing this? Also, I'm worried if this condition might lead to any issues later on, like after I get married. Can you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation has no effect on thyroid values in the body. Hypothyroidism is a common disease which is easily treatable through long term medication. However, it is best to start treatment early because untreated hypothyroidism can lead to a plethora of complications, some of which may be predisposing factors for infertility.

I've just turned 26 and I'm a guy. I got my thyroid test results back and found that my TSH level is super low at 0.01 uIUml, although my T3, T4, FT3, and FT4 levels are all normal. I'm a bit worried about what this means. Should I be concerned and think about seeing a doctor?

Yes it is. Low TSH with a normal t3 and t4 points to hyperthyroidism. Consult a physician.
