Patient's question:
I have been masturbating for the past two days and I want to know about the dangers of masturbation. Will it cause sleep problems and lead to kidney failure and uremia during sexual intercourse? Can masturbation cause kidney failure and uremia?Doctor's answer:
Sexual intercourse will never lead to kidney failure or uremia. If frequent sexual activity causes kidney deficiency, it is not recommended. Sexual life should also be restrained, with one to two times per week being ideal. Proper masturbation has little impact on a man's physical and mental health. If personal hygiene is not paid attention to during masturbation, or if it is too frequent, it may have some effect on men, but it will not lead to kidney failure, which is certain. Masturbation may cause conditions such as balanitis, impotence, and premature ejaculation. Therefore, men should control the frequency of masturbation. If addiction has developed, it is best to quit promptly.
