What are the effects of masturbation during pregnancy on the fetus?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for eight and a half months, often masturbating, will it have any effect on the fetus?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally speaking, sexual activity is absolutely prohibited during the first three months and the last three months of pregnancy. This is because intense sexual desire can reflexively cause uterine contractions, leading to miscarriage. In the later stages, it can result in premature birth and intrauterine infection of the fetus. During the second trimester, sexual activity can be appropriate, but it should not be too frequent, as frequent uterine contractions can also have a certain impact on the fetus. It is recommended that you take some time to go for a walk, visit a park, and reduce exposure to explicit images. For the safety and health of your baby, please endure it appropriately.
