Does excessive masturbation cause psychological problems?

Patient's question:

Medical history: I often have some inexplicable thoughts in my head, like constantly wanting something bad to happen to my parents. I don't know why, but I really love my parents and don't want anything to happen to them. I also know that deciding who lives and who dies is not determined by subjective consciousness, but I can't have these kinds of thoughts popping up in my mind all the time. For example, when my mother is cutting vegetables, I might suddenly think about wanting her to cut her hand. I can't take it anymore. Last year, I stumbled upon a medical record online that mentioned excessive masturbation and psychological issues related to this. The doctor's response was that the excessive masturbation caused it, and the explanation he gave me didn't make sense. I don't know what

Doctor's answer:

Hello:
The dangers of frequent masturbation first cause the sexual organs to remain in a state of congestion, making it easier to induce conditions such as prostatitis. This may lead to sensations of lower back and sacral pain, heaviness, and discomfort. Second, excessive masturbation can result in physical exhaustion and excessive fatigue, as well as psychological stress, producing feelings of emptiness and guilt. Third, long-term frequent masturbation may disrupt the erection and ejaculation centers, shifting from excitement to inhibition, which can lead to sexual dysfunction or anejaculation.
Therefore, you need to quit the habit of masturbation.
To quit masturbation, follow these steps:
(1) Have enough determination and confidence in your mind to resolve to quit.
(2) Pay attention to a regular lifestyle, go to bed and wake up on time, and avoid overthinking. Do not eat a full meal for dinner or consume foods; do not read or view pornographic or obscene materials. It is best to wash your feet with warm water before bed to help you fall asleep. When sleeping, do not wear tight pants, keep the bedding from being too warm, do not let the blanket be too heavy, and avoid sleeping on your stomach. If sexual urges arise after falling asleep and you cannot sleep, you may get up and sit quietly to calm your mind. Once the urges subside, you can go back to sleep.
(3) During free time outside of study, participate more in physical exercise and group activities, such as long-distance running, practicing Tai Chi, or swimming. Try to forget about masturbation. If you are tired during the day, it will be easier to fall asleep at night. This not only strengthens your body and relieves mental tension but alsos willpower and perseverance.
(4) Cultivate a noble character, care about the collective, and love life. Establish a correct view of love and be serious about
