Patient's question:
I have chronic prostatitis, and currently I don't have a sexual partner. Every now and then, I can only rely on masturbation to expel prostatic secretions. How long should the duration of each masturbation session be ideal? (I usually control it to about ten minutes, is that okay?)By the way: How often should masturbation be performed (in the absence of a sexual partner) for the treatment of chronic prostatitis to be considered ideal?
Doctor's answer:
Masturbation can lead to memory loss, poor concentration, reduced comprehension, insomnia, frequent dreams, dizziness, palpitations, and other symptoms. It is important to have a correct understanding of the dangers of excessive masturbation and to make a firm decision to quit. Engaging in activities that interest you can be helpful.It is recommended to visit a professional urological hospital for a check-up and to quit masturbation as soon as possible. During masturbation, the local stimulation of the sexual organs is quite intense, especially with frequent masturbation, which can induce aseptic prostatitis or exacerbate prostatitis and pelvic congestion, thereby worsening discomfort symptoms such as lower back and back pain, incomplete urination, a white liquid dripping out at the end of urination, a burning sensation in the urethra, discomfort in the perineum, and symptoms like fatigue and exhaustion. Additionally, the method of masturbation differs significantly from normal sexual activity. Properly expelling semen through normal sexual activity is more beneficial for prostatitis than masturbation for the body. Therefore, masturbation is not highly recommended for patients with chronic prostatitis.
