Can masturbation lead to kidney deficiency

It is normal for many teenagers to need sexual release because they have already reached mature sexual development, and masturbation is an outlet for this need. In fact, moderate masturbation is harmless, but many teenagers often do not know how to control themselves and masturbate frequently, which results in daily physical fatigue and lack of energy. They cannot muster the energy to do anything. This phenomenon is caused by excessive masturbation leading to kidney deficiency.

Frequent masturbation will inevitably lead to deficiency of kidney essence. Essence belongs to Yin. Loss of kidney essence will inevitably affect deficiency of kidney Yin. When Yin deficiency reaches a certain degree, Yin damages Yang, which in turn leads to deficiency of kidney Yang, or deficiency of both kidney Yin and Yang. Deficiency of kidney Yin and deficiency of kidney Yang all belong to kidney deficiency. The manifestations of kidney Yin deficiency include soreness and pain in waist and knees, dizziness and tinnitus, insomnia and dreaminess, spermatorrhea and premature ejaculation, oligomenorrhea and amenorrhea, metrorrhagia, thin body, hot flashes and night sweats, fever in the five parts of the body, dry throat and red cheeks, yellow urine and dry stool, red tongue with little fluid, and thin and rapid pulse. The manifestations of kidney Yang deficiency include soreness and pain in waist and knees, fear of cold and cold limbs, especially in the lower limbs, lack of energy, pale or black complexion, pale and fat tongue with white fur, deep and weak pulse, impotence in men and infertility in women; or prolonged diarrhea or edema

Excessive masturbation can also cause some urinary and reproductive diseases, sexual neurasthenia, etc., mainly manifested as:

(1) Central nervous system and systemic symptoms such as depression, memory loss, inattention, decreased comprehension, insomnia, nightmares, dizziness, palpitations, etc.

(2) Urogenital system diseases: Chronic prostatitis causes frequent urination, white dripping at the end of urine, discomfort in the lower abdomen and perineum, soreness and weakness in the waist, loss of libido, impotence, premature ejaculation, and anejaculation. This can result in dizziness or headache after reading books or newspapers or studying for a short time. Long-term and frequent masturbation can often cause serious mental burden. Frequent ejaculation can cause decreased semen quality and sexual desire. Some people cannot ejaculate during normal sexual life due to an increased ejaculation stimulation threshold, which may affect fertility.

According to traditional Chinese medicine theory, masturbation and excessive sexual intercourse are the main causes of kidney deficiency, insufficient kidney essence, and depletion of kidney fluid, resulting in male nocturnal emission, spermatorrhea, impotence, premature ejaculation or difficulty in ejaculation, as well as symptoms of sexual dysfunction such as low back pain, weak legs, tinnitus and hair loss. Masturbation in women can cause vulvitis, vaginitis, cystitis, and even lack of sexual desire or sexual apathy. In severe cases, it can cause pelvic congestion and low back pain, or lead to neurasthenia and mental illness.

Due to differences in genetics and living conditions, individual physiques and sexual functions vary, and the effects of masturbation are different at different stages: for example, masturbation during adolescence can cause dysfunction of the gonads, which is detrimental to normal development; a man who has a habit of masturbating before marriage marries a woman who has never masturbated, the man will not be able to satisfy the woman's sexual desire due to excessive masturbation before marriage, which will cause the man to be distressed and regretful and the woman to be dissatisfied and suspicious, thus affecting the relationship between husband and wife and even causing family breakdown.

Excessive masturbation needs to be prevented and treated. The key to preventing and treating masturbation is: treat masturbation correctly, focus on prevention, apply psychiatric treatment and psychological counseling methods, strengthen spiritual civilization construction and sex education, focus on the comprehensive development of morality, intelligence and physical fitness, and overcome excessive concentration of thoughts. Pay attention to life routines and adjustments, avoid wearing tight clothes, go to bed on time, do not have too much dinner, do not use too warm or heavy bedding when sleeping, do not sleep in a supine or prone position, and do not have stimulating foods such as cigarettes, alcohol, coffee, and spicy foods for dinner. Develop good hygiene habits, pay attention to keeping the vulva clean, wash it frequently, and remove dirt and adverse irritation. Encourage men and women to participate in social activities, reduce sensitivity to the opposite sex, and avoid premature love.

It is not appropriate to harshly criticize teenagers who have the habit of masturbation. Instead, we should help them build up confidence and determination to quit masturbation. We must not use exaggeration or intimidation, otherwise it will increase their mental burden. If there is inflammation of the reproductive system, take anti-inflammatory drugs and other symptomatic treatments to eliminate the patient's discomfort. Under the above premise, combined with medication for treatment.
