Patient's question:
Hello, I am 19 years old this year, and I have the habit of masturbation for two or three years. Will this lead to impotence?Doctor's answer:
Hello, generally speaking, for adult men who do not have sexual activity, they can relieve sexual urges through moderate masturbation, with 1-2 times per week being ideal. However, excessive masturbation can lead to abnormal male sexual function, such as: inability to achieve normal erection, weak erection, prolonged erection without firmness, premature ejaculation, prostatitis, impotence, etc. It can also cause the shrinkage of the genitalia. Over time, it may lead to a decline in physical fitness, weakened willpower, fatigue, and even a gradual deterioration in thinking ability, memory, and analytical skills. It is recommended that you abstain from masturbation, cultivate good habits, and comprehensively observe the progression of your condition. If necessary, seek medical attention to avoid adverse consequences. Wishing you health -!
