Patient's question:
Does frequent masturbation have an impact on future children?Doctor's answer:
Self-pleasuring is harmless but should be done in moderation. It is important to maintain hygiene, as neglecting it may affect the cleanliness of the vagina and increase the risk of vaginal infections. If done moderately while ensuring hygiene, it should have no adverse effects on the body or future marriage and fertility.However, unhygienic self-pleasuring can inevitably lead to vaginal infections, cervicitis, endometritis, and salpingitis. In severe cases, it may even cause peritonitis or sepsis. Repeated inflammatory damage can traumatize the fallopian tube lining and muscle layer, resulting in scar formation, ciliary epithelial necrosis, and ultimately causing fallopian tube obstruction and impaired motility. This can significantly affect the movement of sperm and the implantation of fertilized eggs after marriage, leading to infertility or ectopic pregnancy. Unmarried women who frequently self-pleasure also have a high incidence of pelvic congestion syndrome and dysmenorrhea. Psychological issues caused by self-pleasuring can also result in infertility. Some individuals may develop sexual apathy, adding further difficulties to conception.
