Patient's question:
I recently don't know what's going on, my lower body is very uncomfortable, and I'm not getting morning erections anymore. Should I see a doctor about long-term masturbation?Doctor's answer:
The question of whether masturbation is harmful to the body has always been a subject of differing opinions. In recent years, experts both domestically and internationally have generally agreed that masturbation is merely a natural desire that forms after reaching a certain age. Therefore, there is no need to worry excessively. The sexual response and physical changes caused by masturbation are no different from those caused by sexual intercourse. In other words, moderate masturbation and sexual intercourse are harmless to the body, and thus will not affect the development of reproductive organs. The greatest harm of masturbation is psychological stress, which is related to people's excessive exaggeration of its effects.If masturbation is excessive, it may lead to repeated psychological and genital stimulation, potentially resulting in sexual dysfunctions such as impotence or premature ejaculation.
