Masturbation does not cause excessive mucous discharge (phlegm), tonsil infection or depression. Masturbation is a normal activity for sexual satisfaction. It does not harm you. Kindly consult an ENT specialist for recurrent discharge and phlegm.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards, Dr. Chintan Raval
