Does masturbation affect menstrual cycle timing?
No, masturbation does not affect the timing or regularity of your menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is regulated by hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, which follow a natural pattern controlled by the body. Any changes in cycle timing are usually due to stress, lifestyle, or underlying medical conditions.
