Ive recently been masturbating a lot and notice an on and off pain in the testicles/abdomen. is this something to worry about? could over masturbation have any effect on testosterone or testicular shrinkage? and can i recover from this over time?

I wouldn't be concerned about harmful effects on your testosterone or your testicles, but some feel it can interfere somewhat with testosterone production and lower sperm counts. Others don't consider it physically harmful but are concerned about its mental effects. Try to channel your sexual tension into other activities. Seek professional help or counselling as needed.

If you realize you are 'overdoing' it you are capable of reducing it too. Your pain is not from it. Try wearing a good supprt underwear. No it will not lead to testicular shrinkage, lowering of testosterone. There is nothing to recover from. Keep everything in moderation and you will be fine
