Can masturbation return to normal after quitting?

Patient's question:

Hello! I am a 24-year-old male, and I have never had sexual relations with the opposite sex, but I have a history of masturbation for 8 years, averaging twice a week. I have just quit now! Will this affect my future life?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it does have some effect, but it cannot be restored. The current situation requires quitting the habit of masturbation as soon as possible.
Suggestions: Pay attention to a regular lifestyle and daily regulation, avoid wearing tight clothing, maintain a schedule for sleep, avoid overeating at dinner, keep bedding from being too warm or heavy during sleep, avoid sleeping on your back or stomach, and avoid foods for dinner such as tobacco, alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods. Develop good hygiene habits and pay attention to keeping the external genital area clean.
