Edging for a long period of time may have screwed up with some hormones

I did a bloodwork with many values and some were elevated. I had higher than normal prolactin (top end of the range is 20, im at double that). Test and free test was normal, estrogen was at round 39, higher range is 50, so I guess it's normal. However, cortisol and noradrenalin was high above range too.

Can anyone that does long amounts of time of edging without ejaculating do a bloodwork and check your hormones to test my hypothesis of elevated prolactin? putting your system near orgasm without release may chronically have higher levels of prolactin? let's find out, because that is definitely not healthy. Im also shedding a ton of hair which is linked to high prolacin in some studies. The elevated cortisol, ATCH and noradrenalin also doesn't help, may fit in with the fact that im not getting the relief of ejaculation (ejaculating raises prolactin TEMPORARILY but not chronically, it goes low to baseline levels, just like doing sports). Note that I've had periods of not ejaculating for an entire month while practicing edging. My libido is high af.

No prolonged edging is unlikely to do this . However I don't know the effect of prolonged non ejaculation I never understand why guys do this .

Sounds like a stress response.

Overall interesting report. High cortisol and prolactin and yet you have good libido. Is your stamina and EQ good? How much do you edge in sessions and how many sessions weekly?

High noradrenalin would seem like anti erection and pro premE as it activates alpha-1 adrenergic receptor causing vasoconstriction at seminal tract. There are also other adrenergic receptors a2, b1-3 but I have understood alpha-1 to have most effects in erectile function.

Just a theory but maybe prolonged edging causes increased dopamine which desensitizes its receptors leaving chronically high dopamine outside the cells. Dopamine has inverse relationship with prolactin but if it can't activate its receptor maybe it can't cause its antiprolactin effect either. Then there would be excess dopamine around which would be prone to conversion by enzymes (dopamine b-hydroxylase converts norepinephrine from dopamine). Very simplistic view but it would make sense for your current values.

I agree those are not healthy numbers. That high prolactin could be a pituitary tumor. It's seriously high when you start losing hair. Lactating women can have that, men should never lose hair from prolactin. You should probably tone down edging and start ejaculating and see if your numbers improve.
