Patient's question:
I am 14 years old and have been masturbating frequently for about three years, about three times a week. Will this cause precocious puberty? Will it affect height growth? I hope to get a detailed answer. What kind of help do I need: Will it cause precocious puberty? Will it affect height growth? How long will it take to cause early maturity?Doctor's answer:
Self-pleasuring itself does not cause any harm or adverse consequences. Frequent masturbation can lead to impotence and premature ejaculation, severely damaging the prostate gland, and can easily cause chronic prostatitis. Most importantly, it has a significant impact on development and growth. Self-pleasuring is a normal phenomenon among unmarried young people with declining physical fitness. Generally, it does not affect physical health if done about once a week. However, excessive masturbation can affect people's health. Overindulgence in masturbation is highly harmful to one's physical health. Masturbation is not uncontrollable; with firm confidence and the courage to overcome it, you can definitely break free from it. Methods to overcome the habit of masturbation include: 1. Avoid reading pornographic books or watching related content; 2. Do not have excessive sexual fantasies; 3. Engage in more outdoor activities to release impulses.
