Patient's question:
[Condition Description: I like to masturbate after waking up in the morning]Doctor's answer:
[Medical Analysis: Hello, masturbation is harmless to the body, but frequent masturbation over a long period, regardless of the time, can be harmful. The dangers and consequences of masturbation are as follows:1. Masturbation is a severely damaging act to the body's spirit. The "essence" consumed by masturbation is the life-giving source and blood-creating essence stored in the kidneys, which are connected to the marrow and brain marrow. Excessive consumption of essence can lead to hollow marrow, depleted brain marrow, premature aging and early death, with extreme physical weakness being a secondary symptom.
2. The human body is nourished by blood and qi, which come from food. Unconsumed blood and qi transform into essence during deep sleep and are stored in the kidneys, sealed within the bones for future needs. If less is consumed and more is saved, it is the guarantee of longevity and health; if more is consumed and less is saved, it is the precursor to aging and a short life. Both masturbation and sexual activity deplete essence, and the excessive accumulation of this depletion indicates a decline in quality of life and an early end to the life journey.
3. Masturbation not only damages the body's vitality but also harms the mind, causing mental fatigue, weak willpower, indecisiveness, procrastination, irritability, and suspicion and fear. When facing situations, one may either act impulsively or withdraw, lacking patience, perseverance, and confidence in winning. All of these are consequences of insufficient essence failing to transform into qi.
4. Masturbation also affects intelligence. Long-term masturbation significantly damages memory and thinking ability, with a lack of motivation in learning and a rapid decline in academic performance being the most obvious manifestations. This is the result of insufficient essence failing to transform into qi, and insufficient qi failing to transform into spirit.]
