  5. I'm 17 years old and Ive been masturbating every day since I was 15, but Ive recently cut back. Im worried if this has caused an increase in prolactin, which could affect my testosterone levels and explain why my beard growth is slow. Is this something to be concerned about?

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.
