Patient's question:
Doctor, hello. I have schizophrenia, and my condition is currently stable. I am taking Risperidone 3mg and Sertraline 1 tablet. I also have diabetes, and my blood sugar is now normal. I have also suffered from prostatitis. In March 2010, I underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) at a third-tier hospital, where the urology department was outsourced. The doctor who performed the surgery deceived me, saying it would not cause any damage, but in fact, my sexual function has been severely damaged. Before the surgery, I could masturbate for a very long time, but now I can only last for a few minutes. My semen has also become very little, and after masturbation, I feel discomfort and pain in my urethra and perineum, which can take several days to recover. Sometimes, I even need to take anti-inflammatory pills for several days to recover. Before the TURP surgery, I had frequent urination and urgency.Doctor's answer:
The harm caused by excessive masturbation to the human body is mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) Central nervous system and systemic symptoms such as depression, reduced memory, poor concentration, decreased comprehension, insomnia, frequent dreams, dizziness, palpitations, etc. (2) Urogenital system diseases, such as chronic prostatitis causing frequent urination, white discharge at the end of urination, discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, lower back pain and weakness, reduced libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and anejaculation, etc. Excessive masturbation is divided into three aspects: ① Too frequent masturbation; ② Overly stimulating masturbation; ③ Improper use of sexual tools. Excessive masturbation also manifests as masturbation beyond one's spiritual acceptance range. For most young people, masturbation more than once a week is considered frequent. Too frequent masturbation, on one hand, leads to a decline in mental and physical energy, and on the other hand, excessive stimulation of the genital organs may result in impotence, premature ejaculation, or female sexual apathy. If frequent masturbation becomes a habit, or even if one believes it can replace sexual life, it may further become a breeding ground for pathological personalities such as homosexuality or narcissism.
