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.
