Patient's question:
Frequent masturbation leads to premature ejaculation. Can it recover on its own after completely quitting? I am 18 years old, still young. When I was a child, I didn't know and masturbated frequently, now I have premature ejaculation. I have been masturbating for about 5 years. Now that I have completely quit, can I recover without medication or by exercising more? How long will it take? Thank you, doctor.Doctor's answer:
Hello, masturbation in moderation itself does not cause harm or negative consequences. Excessive frequency can damage the body's vitality and also harm the mind. Masturbation can also affect intelligence, and long-term masturbation can significantly impair memory and thinking ability. If the duration of masturbation is short, the body will recover quickly with willpower and psychological adjustment. If you abstain from masturbation for a year and pay attention to taking care of your body, maintain a regular schedule, and exercise consistently, your body will generally recover very well.
