Patient's question:
I have been masturbating for several years. Recently, I've noticed some symptoms of frequent urination and painful urination. After a check-up, it was said that I have a prostate disease. I want to know if masturbation can lead to prostate disease?Doctor's answer:
Frequent and long-term sexual activity can often lead to severe mental burden. Due to frequent ejaculation, it may cause an increase in semen quality and a decrease in libido. Some individuals may experience a lowered threshold for ejaculation stimulation, making it difficult to achieve ejaculation during normal sexual activity, all of which may affect fertility. For severe cases of prostatitis, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's advice for timely treatment. Avoid changing medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome.
