Does masturbation cause impotence?

Patient's question:

I'm still a young man, I don't have a girlfriend, but I do have a sexual history. Hello, can sex lead to premature ejaculation? What kind of frequency would cause premature ejaculation? If I quit this bad habit now, would it improve? I'm only in my teens, and I still want a healthy body.

Doctor's answer:

For sexually mature men, occasional sexual intercourse will never harm physical health, but prolonged sexual intercourse can damage the corpora cavernosa of the penis, increase the risk of conditions such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and orchitis. It can also easily lead to physical weakness, kidney deficiency, and premature ejaculation. The frequency of premature ejaculation varies from person to person and cannot be generalized. Quitting frequent sexual intercourse is always beneficial. It is better to do so than not, and it is never too late. It is recommended to break the habit of frequent sexual intercourse, maintain a healthy lifestyle, engage in adequate physical activity, as these are very beneficial for maintaining good health.
