Patient's question:
What are the effects of long-term masturbation?Doctor's answer:
Frequent masturbation causes long-term congestion in the urinary and reproductive systems, leading to a decline in local immunity and conditions such as urethritis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Excessive masturbation overstimulates the sexual nerves, which, over time, can lead to sexual nerve fatigue and issues like reduced libido, impotence, and weak erections. Additionally, if one prioritizes the pleasure of ejaculation during masturbation and orgasms quickly, this can shorten the sexual reflex time, resulting in habitual premature ejaculation. It is recommended not to wear tight underwear and to avoid exposure to sexually stimulating images and sounds. Go to bed only when you feel the need for sleep. Do not linger in bed in the morning and get up immediately after waking up to avoid indulging in fantasies. However, these symptoms generally improve on their own once the habit is abandoned.
