does masturbation affect kidney - #36657

James

I am a bit confused and worried about this whole thing. I’ve always thought masturbation was normal, but recently, I’ve been hearing some people say that "does masturbation affect kidney" function. I mean, I’m in my late 20s and I do it... not excessively, but regular enough, y'know? Lately, I've been feeling some weird stuff like lower back pain and occasional fatigue. Thought it was just stress from work but now I’m second-guessing everything! I even went to the doc and they said my kidney function is normal but still, I can't shake this nagging question. Does masturbation affect kidney health??? I read about some random articles online talking about links between the two and now I'm freaking out a little. Like, if I keep doing this, am I risking my kidneys or something? A friend of mine, who’s got some knowledge about Ayurveda, mentioned that it might also be connected to how my body distributes energy or something like that? It’s all feels so jumbled in my head right now. Can anyone shed light on this? Does masturbation affect kidney balance in any way, or am I just overthinking?

Masturbation itself doesn’t directly affect kidney function. In Ayurveda, the concept revolves more around energy distribution and balance. When you engage in sexual activities, including masturbation, it involves energy release that is overseen by the reproductive tissue or Shukra dhatu. The “loss” of Shukra dhatu through excessive or unbalanced sexual activity might lead to an imbalance if the body isn’t nourished properly. This doesn’t directly indicate harm to kidneys but rather an imbalance in energy or ojas, the body’s vitality essence, which might explain feelings of fatigue or lower back discomfort.

The back pain and fatigue you experience could potentially be linked to stress, physical strain, or an imbalance in Vata dosha, as Vata governs movement and is located in the lower part of the body. This isn’t to say masturbation itself is negative, but balance is key. Consider taking measures such as practicing moderation, ensuring adequate nutrition, getting proper sleep, and managing stress.

In Ayurveda, balancing your Vata might involve incorporating more grounding, warm, and nourishing foods like grains and stews, practicing yoga or tai chi, which calm the nervous system and releasing muscular tension, or engaging in regular abhyanga, an oil massage therapy with warm sesame oil, which helps to soothe Vata imbalances.

And finally, it’s helpful to remember that quality is as important as quantity when it comes to life energy. Your lifestyle, diet, and stress levels greatly affect your overall health, alongside any sexual activities. Although your medical check-up shows normal kidney function, if your symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner for a personalized assessment may offer deeper insights into balancing your doshas holistically, ensuring vitality and peace of mind.

Masturbation does not directly affect kidney health or function in a detrimental way. It is a normal sexual activity that many people engage in and does not cause kidney damage. The concerns you’re having might be stemming from misinformation or a misunderstanding of how energy and bodily functions are viewed in traditional systems like Siddha-Ayurveda.

In the Siddha-Ayurvedic framework, your symptoms, such as lower back pain and fatigue, could be associated with an imbalance in your energy or doshas. Particularly, Vata imbalance can manifest as such discomforts, possibly influencing your vitality and stamina. Excessive indulgence in any activity can potentially disturb dosha balance, but moderate masturbation is unlikely to be harmful. If your lifestyle, diet, or stress levels are affecting your dosha balance, these might be the areas needing attention.

To help balance your doshas, consider incorporating a few simple Ayurvedic practices. Incorporate a diet suitable for your predominant dosha; grounding foods like warm soups or stews might help if Vata is out of balance. Ensure you maintain a regular sleep schedule and manage stress through meditation or yoga, which help in stabilizing Vata. Abhyanga, or self-massage with warm sesame oil, can also be grounding.

Focus on keeping your body hydrated, as dehydration can stress kidneys and contribute to fatigue. Drink warm water regularly to aid digestive agni. If current symptoms persist, follow up with a healthcare provider to address any underlying medical concerns beyond kidney function.
