Does having hand edema for eight years lead to infertility?
Disease description:
I am 28 years old this year, and in recent years I have frequently experienced hand swelling. I don't know what to do about it, and I'm also worried that this may affect my future fertility. May I ask, can having hand swelling for eight years lead to infertility?

Masturbation (i.e., manual stimulation of the genitals) for eight years does not necessarily lead to infertility. Fertility is influenced by multiple factors, including semen quality, sperm count, sexual function, and the health of the reproductive system. If semen analysis results are normal and sexual activity functions properly after eight years of masturbation, fertility is generally unaffected.
Excessive masturbation may lead to various reproductive system disorders, such as prostatitis and erectile dysfunction, which could indirectly affect fertility. Additionally, poor hygiene during masturbation might cause urinary tract infections and other issues that further compromise reproductive health.
It is advisable to maintain a moderate frequency of masturbation and practice good personal hygiene to support reproductive health. If concerns arise, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for tests such as routine semen analysis to assess fertility status.
