Does suppressing sexual desire have negative effects?

Patient's question:

I and my wife basically have one to two times a week, but every night we will support and comfort each other to a certain extent, and we will restrain ourselves? I just want to ask if this is harmful to the body?

Doctor's answer:

Hello; Pay attention to rest, and try to avoid prolonged sexual stimulation to make the genitalia congested.
The objective standard for measuring whether the frequency of sexual activity is appropriate is whether you feel energetic and mentally happy the next morning. If you experience the following symptoms within the next day or a few days after sexual intercourse and cannot find any other reasons, it can be considered excessive, and you should moderate your frequency and appropriately extend the interval between sexual activities.
  (1) Mental fatigue, listlessness, lack of energy, easily feeling tired from work, difficulty concentrating on studies, drowsiness.
  (2) General weakness, lower back and leg soreness, reluctance to move, feeling lightheaded, dizziness, seeing stars.
  (3) Pale complexion, lack of vitality in the eyes, weary demeanor, thin body.
  (4) Shortness of breath, occasional sweating, insomnia, difficulty falling asleep.
  (5) Reduced appetite, loss of interest in food, poor digestion, and mild nausea.
If you experience these symptoms, it is important to correct them promptly by reducing the frequency of sexual activity. In severe cases, you should temporarily stop sexual activity for a period. However, there is no need to worry excessively about this, as: Generally, if sexual activity is excessive, temporarily abstaining from sex, resting, and strengthening nutrition will not cause significant harm to health. Of course, if you continue to indulge, the consequences will not be favorable.
