Hello- yes it can. Over-stimulation of the testes through excessive masturbation or ejaculation can lead to enzymatically alternation of steroidogenic enzymes, 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3b-hsd), 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17b-hsd), and 5 alpha-reductase. These enzymes are responsible for the rapid conversion of dhea, dhea-s, androstenedione, and testosterone into dht. It is well known that dht is super androgen that interacts with the androgen receptors on sebaceous glands for developing acne.

Dear lybrate-user, yes it affects terribly on health both mental and physical. People will tell you masturbation is normal but over masturbation is injurious. But after doing masturbation it is bound that it will lead you towards over masturbation and chronic addiction of that masturbational pleasure. And it takes you in depression and low confidential states. Yes hair, skin, digestion, and many body parts will be affected by masturbation. For more information please consult us privately on Lybrate.
