Patient's question:
Hello, I have had a long time of masturbation and I can't quit it now. It's not very frequent, about once or twice a week. Does this affect the body? Also, does masturbation have anything to do with being thin?Doctor's answer:
Masturbation itself does not cause any harm or adverse consequences.However, excessive masturbation constitutes a psychological disorder and can severely affect physical health, leading to certain urogenital diseases, sexual neuroexhaustion, and other issues.
The main manifestations include:
(1) Central nervous system and systemic symptoms such as depression, reduced memory, poor concentration, decreased comprehension, insomnia, frequent dreams, dizziness, palpitations, etc.
(2) Urogenital diseases such as chronic prostatitis, which causes frequent urination, white discharge at the end of urination, discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, lower back pain and weakness, reduced libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and anejaculation.
Excessive masturbation is divided into three aspects: ① excessively frequent masturbation; ② overly stimulating masturbation; ③ improper use of sexual tools. Excessive masturbation also manifests as engaging in masturbation beyond one's mental acceptance range.
