Patient's question:
Now my subjective awareness is that I don't want to masturbate, but once I stop masturbating, if I do it for a long time, the prostate will become congested. I'm even afraid to touch my girlfriend or look at pictures of female models too much, let alone watch porn. I'm afraid it will become congested. Under what circumstances does the prostate become congested?Doctor's answer:
Masturbation is not something to be avoided for a sexually mature male in puberty, as it stems from external stimulation and one's own physiological needs. Therefore, it is not inherently bad, but it must be practiced in a controlled manner. As you mentioned, all sexual stimulation leads to prostate congestion and penile erection, while prolonged sitting can also cause prostate congestion and swelling. If one cannot achieve release and relaxation, over time it can lead to prostate hyperplasia and inflammation. Thus, it is essential to try to correct the bad habit of masturbation as much as possible.
