Is daily masturbation bad for my health? I have this habit of masturbating every day and Ive noticed it makes me feel tired afterward, but it also helps me fall asleep. Should I be worried about this?

Masturbating daily is generally not harmful to health if it doesn't interfere with daily life or cause physical discomfort. However, if you feel tired or reliant on it for sleep, it may be helpful to explore other ways to manage stress and sleep, such as relaxation techniques or a consistent bedtime routine.

They have no treatment but get regular checkups and wait to see whether the condition gets worse....Medical treatment of BPH is usually reserved for men who have significant symptoms.

I'm just wondering, does masturbation lead to feeling fatigued or weak? Is it actually harmful in any way, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.

Masturbation is a natural and normal activity that typically doesn't cause fatigue or weakness unless done excessively. In moderation, its not harmful and doesnt have significant side effects. However, if it becomes compulsive or interferes with daily life, it may be a sign of underlying issues that need attention.
