I'm masturbating about 12 times a day, and I'm worried about what kind of effects this might have on my health. Is there any medication or advice you could give me to help stop or cut back? I'm just concerned if it's doing any harm.

Masturbating 1-2 times a day is generally considered a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive masturbation can lead to physical and mental health issues, such as fatigue, guilt, and decreased productivity; if you feel it's impacting your daily life, consider consulting UROLOGIST

Can varicocele heal on its own with yoga or other natural methods without needing surgery Also does frequent masturbation cause varicocele to develop

Varicocele typically doesn't resolve on its own and may even worsen over time. Surgery is often the most effective treatment, though some lifestyle adjustments or exercises may help alleviate symptoms. Frequent masturbation does not directly cause varicocele, but can lead to temporary discomfort or pain.
