Patient's question:
Does excessive masturbation affect the body?Doctor's answer:
Masturbation is the act of seeking rapid ejaculation to satisfy sexual desire. Therefore, excessive masturbation can lead to transient premature ejaculation. Since masturbation involves stimulation of the penis, it can affect blood circulation and nerve conduction in the genital area, potentially triggering erectile dysfunction. During masturbation, the overall blood circulation accelerates, which can cause congestion in the prostate gland, increasing its burden and promoting bacterial growth, thereby leading to prostatitis. Due to masturbation being a process involving high circulation of blood and nerve conduction, it can also result in symptoms such as fatigue, decreased memory, and drowsiness. It is recommended that you either abstain from masturbation or reduce the frequency of it.
