Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Does B12 deficiency occur because of frequent masturbation or ejaculation? If not, kindly explain why?

Answered by Dr. Sajeev Kumar

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

No, the masturbation is safe to act by a man, and he can enjoy it as many times as he feels. It is not needed to avoid masturbation, and it is not a criminal or an unhealthy habit or taste. All men and women in reproductive age want to relieve sexual desires by natural sex or self-stimulation, which is the masturbation and is fine and harmless.

Masturbation is a very common behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. In one national study, 95 % of males and 89 % of females reported that they have masturbated. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by most males and females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing child's exploration of his or her body. Most people continue to masturbate in adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.

In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for fertility testing or sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).

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