Does frequent masturbation affect the endocrine system?

Patient's question:

Hello
I would like to inquire about
Whether frequent masturbation affects the endocrine system, thereby affecting height and causing acne

Doctor's answer:

Hello, masturbation generally does not cause any impact on height or acne. There are many reasons for endocrine disorders, such as emotional distress, poor mood, abnormal liver qi, qi stagnation and blood stasis, etc. For women, monthly menstruation can also lead to endocrine disorders due to blood and qi loss. Other factors include insomnia, irregular diet, fatigue, sudden environmental changes, prolonged illness after serious diseases, and malnutrition, among many others.
It is recommended to abstain from masturbation. Long-term masturbation in men can lead to premature ejaculation and impotence. In women, it can cause infections.
