Does Masturbation Cause Any Negative Health Effects?
Being celibate for about 11years after been disvirgined at 28yrs, currently am 41, a female. My past sexual experience was only for 2yrs before my fiancé relocated out of the country and got married their. Have been very careful and strict about bringing any relationship close to my vagina. But prolonged abstenaince affects me badly, I get feelings of being sexual, my libido gets wild and this drew me into masturbation (just fingering) bcos I really prefer to get married than having premarital sex. My question is does masturbation have any negative health effect? Does it have impact of fibroid?

Hello,
Masturbation in men & women is common & helps to relieve stress or anxiety of both physical & emotional types. You get to know your body & its needs better.
The release of endorphins will keep you boosted up. There is no harm in masturbation until you ain't addicted to it.
Once you are addicted to it, it may affect your sex partner in the way that you may need higher stimulation to reach orgasm, cause your body may need more stimulation in areas which your partner might be neglecting.
Masturbation has no negative effects in long run, but don't overdo your clitoris as it is a sensitive organ.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
