Does daily masturbation affect my sperm count or fertility?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am 22 years old, and I have been masturbating every day for the past three months.

I have a concern. Will this reduce my sperm count? Could this affect my fertility or cause any problems when I get married in the future?

Kindly advise.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Masturbation is okay. It is simply a means of sexual intercourse but without a partner. It is a great practice that

Helps relieve stress.
Boosts mood.
Improves sleep.
Helps prevent depression and anxiety.
Relaxes the mind of a person.
Relieves pain and muscle cramps.
Relieves the sexual tension.
Improves the confidence of a person.
Allows one to have better sex.
Helps the person understand their needs and desires.
In females, masturbation increases vaginal blood flow.

Masturbation will not harm your penis. Doing it two to three times a week is not an issue. However, more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, and a sense of infertility. Ways to reduce masturbation include:

Sexual education.
Physical exercise.
Sleeping adjustments.
Quality of sleep.
Balanced healthy nutrition.
Planning of free time.
Spiritual development.
Taking a cold shower.

If you feel fatigue or lack of strength, I would advise you to use

Cap Astymin Forte (multivitamin tablets) once in the morning and
Tab Shelcal (Calcium and vitamin D3 supplements) once a night after food for thirty days.

I hope you are satisfied with my answer. For further queries, you can consult me at icliniq.

Thank you.
