What are the harms of frequent masturbation?

Patient's question:

I have been masturbating for nearly four years. Every time I see couples in relationships, I get carried away with fantasies, and my penis naturally becomes erect at night, leading me to masturbate to release the tension. Recently, I've been experiencing frequent urination and urgency, with severe cases even causing a sharp, needle-like pain during urination. My friend suspects it's due to masturbation.
What kind of help do I need: What are the harms of frequent masturbation?

Doctor's answer:

Masturbation generally does not cause any disease. In the absence of sexual activity, it is advisable to control it to once a week. Frequent and severe masturbation can lead to diseases such as prostatitis, nocturnal emission, and premature ejaculation, and infertility is also possible.
