Can excessive masturbation recover on its own?

Whether excessive masturbation can recover on its own depends on the specific circumstances. Masturbation is considered a normal sexual behavior as long as it does not affect an individual's daily life, work, or interpersonal relationships, and is generally regarded as harmless. However, when masturbation occurs too frequently and causes physical or psychological discomfort, it is referred to as excessive masturbation.

If masturbation is occasional and no physical discomfort or symptoms are present, self-recovery may be possible by adjusting lifestyle habits and maintaining healthy routines. Physical discomfort caused by excessive masturbation, such as pain in the penis or vagina, fatigue, etc., is usually due to local tissue fatigue and minor injuries caused by overuse. Recovery in such cases often requires a period of rest, avoiding stimulation, and allowing the body sufficient time to heal naturally. Under normal circumstances, this natural recovery process is effective, and symptoms usually gradually subside and disappear after reducing the frequency of masturbation.

If the frequency of masturbation is excessively high, persists for a prolonged period, or symptoms such as lower back and knee pain, fatigue, mental exhaustion, or easy tiredness occur, self-recovery may not be possible and timely medical attention is needed.
