Patient's question:
I used to have the habit of masturbation. Sometimes it would be for several days, and sometimes for months without masturbating. Is there any harm to the body this way?Doctor's answer:
Both mental state and attention can be negatively affected. For example, during work or class, one may frequently experience fleeting fantasies, where a single word or phrase can trigger a cascade of thoughts, severely impacting concentration and memory. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as insomnia and frequent dreams. This can deplete energy, leading to easy fatigue and a general sense of weakness.Frequent masturbation can lead to prostatitis. We often hear about conditions like impotence, premature ejaculation, lower back pain and weakness, as well as a significant decline in sexual performance. In fact, these issues are closely related to the prostate, and the primary cause of prostatitis is often frequent masturbation.
