Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
I like to make it completely clear that masturbation is completely harmless even if done regularly. For your age the recommended frequency is 7+-2 so even if you do it regularly it does not affect you negatively.
Shrinking of testicular could be a temperature effect, nutrition effect or any medication effect but it is not due to masturbation.
I also like to inform you that masturbation is practiced by almost 95 % of men and 70% off women as it is harmless and completely natural process.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for my future patients.
In future if you wish to contact me directly, you can use the below mentioned link:
