Patient's question:
Recently, I heard a viewpoint that says frequent sexual activity in men can lead to infertility. Hearing this news made me very concerned. I used to have this problem myself—frequent sexual activity—and I'm already divorced. My ex-wife really hopes we can have a child soon. Does masturbation really cause infertility?Doctor's answer:
Appropriate sexual activity will not lead to the recurrence of male infertility, but if the frequency of sexual activity is too high, it can easily cause infections in the urinary system, leading to many inflammatory conditions in the male reproductive system, which in turn can result in the recurrence of infertility. Therefore, in daily life, it is important to pay attention to infertility patients. Timely treatment can reduce the likelihood of recurrence, whereas delayed treatment can affect overall health. Thus, patients should seek timely and targeted treatment, and maintain a regular lifestyle, avoiding prolonged sitting.
