Frequent masturbation will deplete kidney essence, which may lead to either kidney yin deficiency or kidney yang deficiency, depending on the individual’s condition. In Chinese medicine, the kidneys are considered to be the foundation of the innate nature, and they are also closely related to the growth and development of the human body and reproductive functions. Frequent masturbation can lead to a loss of essence in the kidneys, which in turn affects kidney yin and yang. However, the specific type should be judged according to the specific clinical symptoms. If there are symptoms such as night sweating (abnormal sweating after going to sleep and stopping after waking up), insomnia, dreaming, dry mouth, lumbar and knee soreness and weakness (the feeling of lumbar and knee soreness and weakness), spermatorrhea, a red tongue with little moss, and a fine pulse (a pulse that becomes narrower and finer, and at an accelerated rate), then it is considered to be a higher possibility of Kidney yin deficiency. If there are symptoms such as pallor (white color and lack of luster), cold hands and feet, soreness and weakness of the waist and knees, diarrhea at five o’clock (diarrhea before dawn), and clear and grown-up urine, it is considered that Kidney-Yang deficiency is more likely. It is recommended that men do not often masturbate in their daily lives, if there is discomfort timely medical treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
