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.

I'm really thinking about those testosterone tablets I saw from well-known brands like Cipla. Here's the thing, I'm dealing with obesity and my height's not ideal, plus I've been having some ED issues. It's tempting to think these pills could turn things around for me, you know, make me stronger with great muscles and increase my sex drive. I've never tried any self-medication before, but the idea of these tablets got me really curious. Do you think they could turn me into a 'superman'? What's the actual purpose of these pills? Could they help my health, or might they just make things worse? I really want to understand what these are all about before I do something potentially harmful. Could you shed some light on this for me?
strongly advise against self-medicating with testosterone tablets, as they can have serious health consequences, particularly for someone with obesity and ED; testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) should only be prescribed by a doctor for medically diagnosed hypogonadism, and not for athletic enhancement or bodybuilding; misusing testosterone can lead to adverse effects like prostate issues, blood clots, liver damage, acne, and mood changes; instead, focus on healthy lifestyle modifications, such as weight loss, exercise, and stress management, which can help improve overall health, ED, and testosterone levels naturally.

I've been practicing intermittent fasting for quite a while now, and it's really helped me shed a lot of fat. Plus, I do a 36-hour fast once every month. But recently, I found out I have Hypothyroidism and I'm now on thyroxine tablets on an empty stomach every morning, and I take a Vitamin D3 tablet once a week. I did mention my fasting routine to my doctor, but I completely forgot to ask if it's okay to keep doing it with my thyroid meds. And since he didn't say I should stop, I'm kind of unsure. So, is it safe to continue intermittent fasting while taking thyroid medication, or should I be concerned?
Yes you can continue fasting while on thyroid medicines In fact if you loose weight your metabolic status might get better Continue the thyroid replacement also
