Patient's question:
I have always had the habit of masturbating because I don't have a girlfriend and live alone in a dormitory. So when I have nothing to do or feel bored after work, I tend to think about sex and end up watching adult videos without realizing it, then I start masturbating. However, I've also heard that frequent masturbation can be harmful to the body.What kind of help I need: How can I masturbate without harming my health?
Doctor's answer:
Masturbation is normal for men. It is often used to relieve sexual frustration when sexual activity in daily life is not satisfied. It usually takes a few minutes to 10 minutes. If masturbation is excessive, it can affect your physical health. If it is not stopped in time, it can lead to kidney qi deficiency, insufficient kidney essence, and exhaustion of kidney fluid, resulting in symptoms such as male premature ejaculation, slippery ejaculation, impotence, premature ejaculation, or difficulty in ejaculation, as well as symptoms of sexual function decline such as lower back pain, leg weakness, tinnitus, and hair loss. In severe cases, it can also cause severe mental burden. Due to frequent ejaculation, the quality of semen may decline, and sexual desire may decrease. Some men may experience an increased threshold for ejaculation stimulation, making it unable to ejaculate during normal sexual activity, which may affect fertility. Therefore, to be harmless to the body, it is important to masturbate moderately, restrain the habit of frequent masturbation, and exercise more to shift your attention. Young people must pay attention to taking care of their bodies.
