Hi,
Masturabtion does not affect the health. It is a normal sexual behavior and just like sex, without involvement of sex partner. It does not cause loss of energy and stamina. Moderate masturbation is complete healthy. Sometimes excessive masturbation can cause loss of energy in some case.
Please first note the disadvantage of excessive masturbation (2-3 times every day):
1. Drowsiness
2. Weakness: due to loss of protein and calcium
3. Back pain, pelvic pain
4. Testicular pain
5. Rare: penile fracture
6. May be decreased sperm count
7. Psychological side effect
Advantage of moderate masturbation (3-4 times per week)
1. Reduce depression
2. Releasing of endorphin: good for prostate, decreased prostate cancer
So I would suggest to do moderate masturbation (2-4 times per week). Avoid stress, take healthy diet rich in protein with lots of fruits and green leafy vegetables, do regular exercise, drink plenty of water.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Best regards,
Dr. Sagar
