What Are the Harms of Masturbation?

Excessive masturbation in males not only depletes energy but may also lead to erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. It can even impair genital development, making treatment significantly more difficult. If excessive masturbation persists over a prolonged period during puberty, it may cause excessive depletion of kidney essence, potentially affecting final adult height. In females, excessive masturbation may result in chronic pelvic congestion, leading to symptoms such as lower abdominal heaviness or pain, dysmenorrhea, and increased vaginal discharge.
