Patient's question:
I am 21 years old, male. Due to excessive masturbation, I have lost sensation during sex with my girlfriend. Will this affect fertility in the future?Doctor's answer:
It could be a lack of libido, characterized by low or no sexual desire. It is essential to abstain from masturbation and learn to appreciate both your own and your partner's bodies, which will help enhance sexual pleasure. Taking medication to regulate bodily functions will lay a material foundation for overcoming a lack of libido. If necessary, you may consider using tonifying herbs like Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan or Liu Wei Di Huang Wan for regulation. In severe cases, seek medical treatment early. It is recommended to quit this unhealthy habit and cultivate a healthy body and mind. Masturbation can lead to kidney qi deficiency, insufficient kidney essence, and exhaustion of kidney fluids, resulting in symptoms such as male premature ejaculation, spermatorrhea, impotence, early ejaculation, or difficulty achieving ejaculation, as well as sexual function decline symptoms like lower back and leg weakness, tinnitus, and hair loss.
