Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: MasturbationHello~! I also know the entire process of masturbation. When I was a child, I think I started masturbating around the age of 6 or 7 and continued until I was about 15. Then, at 16, I stopped masturbating. However, I still feel like I have memory loss, forgetfulness, and I have dreams about having sex with the opposite sex, leading to nocturnal emissions. Etc... Does this affect my ability to have children in the future? Does it have anything to do with the quality of sperm~~??
Doctor's answer:
Hello:The harms of frequent masturbation first cause sexual organs to remain in a state of congestion, making it easier to induce conditions like prostatitis and other diseases. This may lead to sensations of lower back and sacral pain, heaviness, and discomfort. Second, excessive masturbation can result in physical exhaustion, extreme fatigue, and psychological stress, producing feelings of emptiness and guilt. Third, long-term and frequent masturbation may disrupt the central nervous system's control over erection and ejaculation, shifting from excitement to inhibition, which can lead to sexual dysfunction or anejaculation.
Therefore, you need to break the habit of masturbation.
To quit masturbation, follow these steps:
(1) Cultivate sufficient willpower and confidence in your mind to make a firm decision to quit.
(2) Maintain a regular lifestyle and schedule. Go to bed and wake up on time, avoid overthinking, and do not overeat at dinner. Avoid foods and do not read pornographic or obscene materials. Before bed, it is best to wash your feet with warm water to help you fall asleep. When sleeping, do not wear tight pants, keep the bedding from being too warm, avoid heavy blankets, and do not sleep on your stomach. If you experience sexual urges after falling asleep and cannot sleep, try getting up and sitting quietly to calm your mind. Once the urges subside, return to sleep.
(3) During free time outside of studying, participate more in physical exercise and group activities, such as long-distance running, practicing Tai Chi, or swimming. Focus on forgetting about masturbation. If you feel tired during the day, it will be easier to fall asleep at night. This not only strengthens your body and alleviates mental tension but also helps develop willpower and perseverance.
(4) Develop noble moral character, care about the collective, and love life. Establish a correct perspective on love and take relationships seriously and earnestly.
