Does Masturbation Increase Estrogen?
I've been reading up on how different activities affect our body's chemistry. Does masturbating actually cause a spike in estrogen levels in women, and if so, can that significantly impact my overall hormonal balance or cycle? ~ Divya Madiga, 30 Yrs
There is no evidence that masturbation significantly increases estrogen levels. Hormonal shifts during masturbation are brief and do not impact overall estrogen levels. Your hormonal balance is controlled by much deeper internal signals, and these brief natural activities are completely safe and won’t interfere with your body’s steady reproductive rhythm.
