How long it takes for men to quit sex to lower their androgen levels is related to the level of androgens in men themselves, which varies greatly among individuals and cannot be generalized. The causes of excessive androgens in the body include adrenocortical disorders, ovarian disorders, somatic hirsutism, mental factors, and drug effects, among which adrenocortical disorders are the most common. Men with high androgens may experience acne, obesity, hirsutism and other symptoms, and I am afraid that “abstinence” alone will not achieve better results. If the symptoms are only mild, such as acne and hirsutism, there is generally no need to reduce androgen therapy; if the symptoms are severe androgenosis, a diagnosis should be made with the help of a specialist to assess the need for medication. Due to the different severity of the disease and individual differences, it is impossible to give an exact time frame for how long it takes to reduce androgen levels by “abstinence” alone. In order to reduce androgen levels, it is recommended to avoid eating too much meat, such as beef, mutton and pork, which contain certain androgens, and to eat some soy products, which have a certain effect on reducing androgens.
