Can masturbation lead to impotence?

Patient's question:

I first masturbated today and felt powerless

Doctor's answer:

Hello, masturbation generally does not cause impotence, but it is important to be moderate and try to avoid developing this unhealthy habit. Otherwise, it may lead to adverse conditions such as neurasthenia. I believe everyone knows that impotence can cause significant harm to patients, so it is necessary to seek treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary issues, with a focus on light and unstimulating foods. Additionally, regular follow-up visits may be necessary when needed.
