What are the harms of a 15-year-old boy masturbating?

Patient's question:

Under the son's bed, there was sticky toilet paper. I suspect it's that thing. Could it be a serious health problem? He's almost 15.

Doctor's answer:

Masturbation is a way to release sexual pressure. Masturbation generally does not cause any diseases. It is generally advisable to do it once a week. Frequent and excessive masturbation can lead to diseases such as prostatitis, nocturnal emissions, and premature ejaculation, and infertility is also possible. However, the psychological harm exceeds the physiological impact, damaging a person's emotional well-being, causing mental fatigue, weak willpower, indecisiveness, procrastination, irritability, suspicion and fear, impulsiveness or withdrawal, lack of patience and perseverance, as well as the confidence and courage to succeed. Masturbation can also affect intelligence, and long-term masturbation can significantly impair memory and thinking ability.
