Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Masturbation itself is harmless to the body and has no effect on fertility. It is only when it is excessive or too frequent that it leads to other diseases, thereby affecting the body. For example, frequent masturbation causes prolonged congestion in the urinary and reproductive systems, leading to a decline in local immunity and conditions such as urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Excessive masturbation also overstimulates the sexual nerves, which, over time, can lead to sexual nerve fatigue and result in reduced libido, impotence, or weak erections. Additionally, if one indulges in the pleasure of ejaculation for too short a time during masturbation, it can shorten the sexual reflex time, leading to habitual premature ejaculation in normal sexual activity.
