Can prolonged masturbation lead to infertility?

Patient's question:

A 29-year-old woman has been having sex for over a decade and has developed this bad habit. Will she become infertile after so long? She does it every day. Sometimes, she has it several times a day. Now, sometimes, she gets soft in the middle of it. Her sperm concentration is zero. If she becomes infertile, can it be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Long-term sexual activity can lead to the risk of kidney deficiency, so in clinical diagnosis, we should try to restrain the frequency of sexual activity. If, as you described, the sperm concentration is already very low, it is recommended to have a semen test at a hospital when convenient. If there is indeed a problem, it is best to treat it with traditional Chinese medicine. For severe cases of infertility, it is advised to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for treatment. Avoid switching to new medications at will, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
