A member asked:

Hi, i'm 34 years old and i masturbate at least once a day. would this result in health issues in the future, particularly with my prostate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: Masturbating has not been shown to increase future problems with the prostate nor increase the risk of prostate cancer
