Ma Jiaming and Jiang Hui from the Department of Urology at Peking University Third Hospital remind us: Long-term abstinence in young men is not conducive to physical and mental health. Prolonged abstinence in men can have the following harmful effects!
- Deterioration of sperm quality: Sperm does not improve with longer storage time; they also undergo metabolism. Long-term abstinence can lead to a decrease in male sperm quality, and even affect fertility.
- Reduced libido: According to modern psychoanalysts, libido is the strongest instinctual response. Prolonged abstinence can affect male mental health and even induce sexual dysfunction, leading to reduced libido.
- Inducing chronic prostatitis: Long-term abstinence in men, without regular ejaculation or sexual stimulation that is suppressed from ejaculating, can lead to excessive congestion of the prostate, thereby inducing chronic prostatitis.
