Are there risks involved in masturbation?
Patient: Hi..Iam Vinu..age 20..Iam here to ask about risks of masturbation..i have this habit for about 1 and half years..at the initial times it feels good..but recently iam feeling a little pain in my right testicle..however it disappears after 2 days...is it normal??...pls send me measures or steps to do...waiting for your kind advice.... Doctor: Hello,The excess masturbation that is frequency more than 2-3 times in week can cause groin discomfort.So you can have pain because of that. However if testis pain present than investigate with ultrasonography of testis for primary work up. Yoga, meditation, less porn can help in reducing frequency of masturbation. Make short term and long term study goals which will help in reducing frequency. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
