Patient's question:
Six times in the week before last, one time in last week, and one time this week. In the mornings recently, there has been no morning erection, and when watching porn, the penis does not get hard much. It gets a bit hard, but attention shifts, and the penis becomes soft. It can get hard with manual stimulation, but it becomes soft without stimulation. Is it fatigue or impotence? Morning erections are also not obvious. Before, there were morning erections before masturbation.Doctor's answer:
Masturbation generally does not cause any disease. It is generally advisable to do it once a week. Frequent and heavy masturbation can lead to diseases such as prostatitis, nocturnal emissions, and premature ejaculation, and infertility is also possible. However, the psychological harm it causes is greater than its physiological effects. It can damage a person's emotional well-being, causing mental fatigue, weak will, indecisiveness, indecisiveness, irritability, suspicion and fear, either impulsive or withdrawn when facing things, lack of patience and perseverance, as well as the confidence and courage to win. Masturbation can also affect intelligence. Long-term masturbation can significantly damage memory and thinking ability, with the most obvious manifestation being a lack of ability to learn and a rapid decline in academic performance. Additionally, masturbation behavior has a severe addictive nature, and once addicted, it is very difficult to control.
