Detailed Answer:
Hi.Thanks for writing on XXXXXXX
Masturbation does not affect your Triglyceride or cholesterol levels.These depend on family history, diet/habits & lifestyle.
I am glad to know that you have almost normal lipid levels except high Triglycerides (TG's).It is also good to limit fatty food like ghee, papad (roasted items) etc to control.Best way to control TG's is exercise.
I suggest you to do brisk walking daily for around 30 minutes. If still the TG's are not controlled then you may have to take small dose of hypolipidemic drugs (Eg: Atorvastatin 10 mg daily) in consultation with you doctor.
Are you sure that you VLDL levels( normal levels are upto 40mg/dl) are high but LDL levels are normal?
Do you consume alcohol?
Please write back with details, so that I can help you further.

Hi.Thanks for writing back.
Masturbation is a healthy and perfectly normal sexual behavior. But, like any other behavior, when over practiced it can lead to both psychological and physiological imbalances.I am sure that you will reduce/discontinue masturbation once they get into meaningful sexual relationships.
I am very glad that all your test report are absolutely normal except your TG's (and VLDL) as pointed earlier.I were to suggest you to continue Lipicard 160mg as advised by your doctor.Snacks especially the roasted/fried food items are responsible for the rise in TG's, VLDL and trans-fatty acids which increase your lipids in your body.
It does not take long time to reduce your TG/VLDL levels.Simple lifestyle changes like following a balanced diet (increased portions of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains) and exercise regularly.Cut down on high–calorie foods and beverages (not even occasionally).It is very important to take your medication regularly.
Previous surgical history or injuries donot affect your lipids.
I suggest you to consult a cardiologist if you have breathlessness, chest pain and experiencing fatigue and take his opinion.Hope your blood pressures are under control.
Hope I have answered your query.
