Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

How much masturbation should we do in a week? Does it affect future healthy sex life and my gym activities? Please suggest.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Masturbation is normal; ninety-five percent of males do that (out of a hundred males, ninety-five males). It is just another way of having sex without a partner. It is a good practice, and it helps calm your mind and release happy and stress-busting enzymes. It will not harm your penis. Having two to three times a week is not an issue, more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, sense of infertility. It will not affect your gym workout.

Regards.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
