Patient's question:
Hello Doctor: I would like to ask if frequent masturbation can cause symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency. Thank youDoctor's answer:
Masturbation generally does not cause any disease. It is generally advisable to do it once a week. Frequent and heavy masturbation can lead to diseases such as prostatitis, nocturnal emissions, and premature ejaculation, and infertility is also possible. However, the psychological harm it causes is greater than its physiological effects. It can damage one's emotional well-being, causing mental fatigue, weak willpower, indecisiveness, procrastination, irritability, suspicion and fear, erratic behavior—either rushing into things or retreating, lacking patience and perseverance, as well as confidence and courage to succeed. Masturbation can also affect intelligence. Long-term masturbation can significantly impair memory and cognitive abilities, with the most obvious manifestation being a lack of ability to learn and a rapid decline in academic performance. Additionally, masturbation behavior is highly addictive, and once a person becomes addicted, it is very difficult to control.
