Does masturbation cause impotence?

Patient's question:

Doctor. There is a question I don't know how to bring up. In the past two years, I've gotten into a very bad habit—I really enjoy sexual intercourse and have sex one or two times every day. If I don't have sex for a day, it will be extremely painful. Recently, I saw a news report saying that excessive sexual intercourse is very bad for the body. I want to know if sexual intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation?

Doctor's answer:

Having sex twice a day is too frequent, and such a high frequency of sexual activity can easily lead to the recurrence of sexual dysfunction, such as impotence and premature ejaculation. Therefore, when this occurs again, it is necessary to break the habit of frequent sexual activity. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to enhancing nutrition and exercising to strengthen the body. You can also complement with some traditional Chinese medicine for tonifying the kidneys or vasodilating medications, both of which have good effects.
