A member asked:

Doc said its prostatitis & weak nerve system due to mastrbation in past, but didn't masturbate that much, will my nerve heal over time by itself, scared!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bs: That doctor told you absolute nonsense. Masturbation does not lead to prostatitis - ask your quack doctor to show any medical studies that say otherwise. I'm not sure what you mean by weak nerve system. Aggressive masturbation or sex can lead to nerve injury but that is rare and should heal.
