Patient's question:
Dear Doctor Uncle/Aunt,I would like to consult you about something. Here’s the situation—well, it’s a bit embarrassing to say.
I am a male, 16 years old... Due to prolonged masturbation, I have reached a point where I can no longer control myself. Sometimes, I randomly stretch because I feel as if an unfulfilled sexual desire is about to surge out; other times, I feel dizzy and lightheaded, and my body feels extremely uncomfortable—I can’t even sit still. My masturbation habit has been going on for about four years now. I always feel weak all over, and sometimes even in my lower abdomen, there’s a persistent...

Doctor's answer:
Masturbation, the correct term should be self-pleasure, is commonly referred to as "jerking off." It refers to the act of stimulating the genital organs with hands or other objects to achieve sexual satisfaction without sexual intercourse. Since there are many methods of self-pleasure and it does not necessarily involve hands, some people mistakenly believe that if hands are not used during self-pleasure, it is not "masturbation," which is a wrong perception. "Yin" in Chinese is a derogatory term, but it is a normal sexual behavior. Therefore, the correct and scientific term should be self-pleasure.The theory of "harmless masturbation" claims that masturbation has no effect on people. Is this really the case? Previous scientists did not consider certain special proteins and only focused on the quantity of proteins. Relevant scientists have pointed out that the components in spinal fluid play an irreplaceable role in supplying nutrients to the nervous system. It can reduce fatigue caused by exhaustion and keep a person's reaction and energy levels at a high level. The proteins in semen also produce an ionizing effect on the nervous synapses, similar to the effect of spinal fluid on the nervous system. Studies on multiple men with over 10 years of sexual activity have shown that the pleasure experienced during ejaculation is the same as the ionizing reaction produced when the nervous system is stimulated. The reason for this is that semen, in addition to some genetic factors composed of proteins, also contains a large amount of liquid substances composed of spinal fluid. Frequent ejaculation can lead to sluggishness and fatigue symptoms, which helps explain why a player's pre-game sexual activity might result in repeated losses during the match.
When masturbation becomes a habit, it can undoubtedly have adverse effects and consequences both physiologically and psychologically. It can lead to kidney deficiency, sexual dysfunction, and some people may also experience dizziness, blurred vision, tinnitus, palpitations, insomnia, and other symptoms, making it difficult to concentrate on studies or work. It is essential to seek medical attention and treatment as early as possible and not delay the condition.
