Patient's question:
What are the harms of frequent masturbation? Almost every day, but my body doesn't have any major reactions. I heard that 1-2 times a month is normal. I'm a bit worried. Please help me out and let me know. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
1. Frequent masturbation keeps a person constantly excited and prevents adequate rest, making them easily feel tired, listless, reduced memory, decreased comprehension, insomnia, frequent dreams, dizziness, headaches, tinnitus, and palpitations. However, it does not have specificity.2. Excessive masturbation may lead to prolonged congestion in the reproductive system. Men are prone to conditions like prostatitis and urethritis, while women may experience chronic pelvic congestion, resulting in lower abdominal heaviness, menstrual pain, and increased vaginal discharge.
3. Due to masturbation, self-blame, guilt, and regret may arise, along with concerns about affecting physical health and future sexual function, causing high psychological stress, which can be more harmful than masturbation itself.
4. If masturbation becomes the sole way to satisfy urges or relieve tension and is over-relied upon, it indicates that an individual's psychological development and social adaptability are problematic. Masturbation reflects a pathological psychological state.
