Hello
Masturbation is a normal physiological response and it varies from person to person how much and when they do it.There is no evidence to suggest that the frequency {ie how many times} causes issues with any harmones in the body.It also does not have any impact on development of secondary sexual characterstics that you mention.
Next Steps
Relax,there is nothing harmful done.

Hello...... Increased prolactin is one of the cause for decreased testosterone but you should decrease frequency of masturbation... Once a week masturbation is not harmful . But daily masturbation is not good for health... Weakness, early ejaculation, fatigue,
