While an expert has offered advice on how to know whether you could be overdoing it, a doctor has listed the possible ill effects of too frequent m@sturbation.
Chief practitioner at Dr. Vaidya’s in India, Dr. Surya Bhagwati has cleared various doubts regarding the effects of regular self-st!mulus on the body. She said, in a blog article, “M@sturbation itself is not harmful; it is entirely harmless and offers numerous benefits when done in moderation, such as alleviating stress and promoting better sleep.”

She did, however, warn that too much m@sturbation could cause some problems and stress some of the likely ill effects. Intimacy educator Leeza Mangaldas emphasized on her YouTube channel the issue of how much m@sturbation is seen as too much, stressing that there isn’s a universal solution and that people should define their own limits.
Side effects of too frequent m@sturbation
Guilt: Emotions
“A significant amount of m@sturbation can lead to feelings of guilt, which may come from societal, cultural, or personal influences,” notes Dr. Bhagwati. The expert did, however, also stress, ” Regardless of the reasons, individuals shouldn’t inherently feel shame, though many often experience guilt if their habits disrupt other aspects of their life.”

Reduced Self-Worth
“If someone feels uneasy about their m@sturbation habits, it may lead them to criticize themselves or diminish their self-worth,” the main internal specialist said. She advised seeing a mental health expert to help one overcome these emotions should such a problem arise.
Insufficient concentration ” One drawback of m@sturbation, Dr. Bhagwati noted, is its possible interference with focus and output. Establishing personal limits is crucial to keep concentration since it can prevent completely participating in work, study, or personal interests.
Tiredness
She also pointed out that too much m@sturbation may cause tiredness, particularly if it disturbs your sleep pattern by keeping you awake late at night. Dr. Bhagwati pointed out, “Practiced too often without enough rest time, it might become taxing. The effect changes generally depending on rest and moderation.
Social awkwardness: “Individuals who encounter side effects from excessive m@sturbation may become highly introverted in social settings, often due of feelings of guilt or shame surrounding their behavior,” the doctor said. “This can then cause one to lose confidence and self-esteem.”
Effect on Personal Life
Dr. Bhagwati pointed out that m@sturbation might affect your quality of life if it interferes with your personal life, relationships, or everyday duties. Mangaldas also reflected this in her video. On her channel, she said that generally speaking, it’s okay as long as it doesn’t conflict with family obligations, employment, or schooling.
Swollen Genitalia
“Frequent m@sturbation can occasionally lead to temporary swelling in the genital region due to enhanced blood flow in that area,” Dr. Bhagwati said in her blog article. She underlined that this disorder is “harmless” usually and “resolves without intervention.”
lowered s**ual sensitivity
“Excessive m@sturbation can lead to overstimulation, which may result in decreased sensitivity, so making it harder to experience enjoyment during actual s**ual intercourse,” the expert said. Usually a transient problem, “this can be resolved by controlling frequency and changing behavior.”
Debunking myths about m@sturbating
Dr. Bhagwati pointed out that some people may experience premature ejaculation as a possible side effect; so, regular patterns of arousal and ejaculation can affect and extend into their romantic relationships.
Debunking myths regarding m@sturbation, Dr. Bhagwati cleared various misconceptions by pointing out that these assertions lack scientific support. Among these myths are ideas that too much m@sturbation might lead to hair loss, p*n!le shrinkage, lower spe3rm count, back pain, even prostate cancer.
About the prostate cancer issue, the doctor said: “There are no conclusive data connecting m@sturbation to a higher risk of prostate cancer. Actually, a greater frequency of ejaculation—from m@sturbation or other s**ual activities—is considered to be beneficial since it helps the prostate shed harmful compounds.
He further noted that while particular positions during m@sturbation could create discomfort for some people, lower back pain is more frequently brought on by bad posture. “One should be aware of the possible negative consequences of too frequent m@sturbation. Regarding your general wellbeing and s**ual health, Dr. Bhagwati underlined the need of making wise selections.
Finally he said, “Natural remedies for erectile dysfunction might be worth investigating, but it’s essential to keep moderation in mind.” Thus, as we know generally, a good lifestyle depends on moderation!
