Patient's question:
Ejaculation premature caused by masturbation, can it self-heal after stopping masturbation?Doctor's answer:
Masturbation refers to the act of stimulating the external genitalia with the hands, which subsequently induces sexual arousal to achieve temporary psychological satisfaction, thereby serving as a form of self-pleasure. Excessive or prolonged masturbation can lead to sexual dysfunction. This is because the stimulation of ejaculation caused by a man rubbing his penis with his hands is relatively intense. In subsequent normal sexual activity, the sexual stimulation the penis receives in the vagina is not stronger than that from masturbation. From this perspective, masturbation does not cause premature ejaculation. On the other hand, long-term and overly frequent masturbation, similar to excessive sexual activity, can lead to excessive excitement of the erection and ejaculation centers, resulting in fatigue. This shift from excitement to inhibition can cause sexual dysfunctions such as impotence and premature ejaculation.Masturbation practiced in a regular and controlled manner does not harm the body or mind. However, if masturbation becomes frequent and habitual, it can create unnecessary mental stress and anxiety. In severe cases, it may lead to psychological abnormalities and sexual dysfunction, affecting normal life, study, and work. Whether occasional or habitual masturbation, it is undesirable and should be actively overcome.
The harms of frequent masturbation first cause the sexual organs to remain in a state of congestion, making them more susceptible to conditions such as prostatitis. This may result in sensations of lower back and sacral pain, heaviness, and discomfort. Second, excessive masturbation can lead to physical exhaustion, excessive fatigue, and psychological pressure, producing feelings of emptiness and guilt. Third, long-term and frequent masturbation can disrupt the erection and ejaculation centers, shifting from excitement to inhibition, which may induce sexual dysfunction or anejaculation.
Therefore, you need to break the habit of masturbation.
