Study(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12659241) says abstinence causes spike in t levels by 145%. could these spikes cause early closure of growth plates?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: This was a small study looking at variations in testosterone levels after ejaculation. The clinical significance of these findings is unknown, and not likely to be meaningful for otherwise healthy males. Testosterone effects occur over many weeks and months, and are not affected by small or short term fluctuations in levels.
