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 effects on height or acne. There are many reasons for endocrine disorders, such as emotional distress, unsmooth emotions, improper liver qi regulation, qi stagnation and blood stasis, etc. For women, monthly menstruation can also lead to blood and qi loss, making it easier to cause endocrine disorders; insomnia; irregular diet; fatigue; sudden environmental changes; prolonged illness after serious illness, as well as malnutrition and many other factors.
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.
