A member asked:

I musturbate thrice a week.will it cause pimples and acne .please inform me if masturbation cause any health problem?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It will not: The one problem that you may have as a female is that if you are very rough and unaccustomed, you might get a urinary tract infection. This is an unsettled question. Ordinary intercourse, especially the first few times, is much more likely to cause this. Take good care of your health and enjoy being young and fit.
