Introduction
Excessive masturbation can lead to kidney deficiency, instability of kidney essence, and mental fatigue. If left unaddressed, it may further progress to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and nocturnal emissions—and even trigger urological conditions such as epididymitis, orchitis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis. Excessive masturbation readily causes chronic congestion in the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, thereby impairing local blood circulation.
Moderate masturbation does not significantly affect physical health; however, excessive masturbation can interfere with normal daily life and may lead to urological disorders, impaired growth and development, and urinary system diseases.
1. Development of Urological Disorders
Excessive masturbation may cause conditions such as kidney deficiency, instability of kidney essence, and mental fatigue. If left unaddressed, it may progress to erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, and nocturnal emissions—and even trigger inflammatory conditions including epididymitis, orchitis, prostatitis, and seminal vesiculitis.
2. Impairment of Growth and Development
The prostate gland contains specific enzymes that convert testosterone—produced by the testes—into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). In addition to maintaining male secondary sexual characteristics, DHT plays a crucial role in promoting muscle and bone development. Excessive masturbation can induce chronic prostatic congestion, impair local blood circulation, and reduce metabolic activity and nutrient supply, thereby adversely affecting muscular and skeletal development in males.
3. Urinary System Disorders
Excessive masturbation often leads to chronic congestion of the prostate, seminal vesicles, and epididymis, resulting in compromised blood circulation, diminished metabolism and nutrient delivery, and weakened disease resistance and immune function. Consequently, exposure to external stimuli may readily precipitate urogenital disorders such as prostatitis, seminal vesiculitis, and epididymitis.
