I am a 28-year-old man, and I have some questions about the effects of masturbation on health. It is something I have been doing occasionally since my teenage years, but recently I started feeling concerned about whether it might negatively affect my body or mind. I have read conflicting opinions online—some sources say it’s natural and harmless, while others claim it can lead to physical weakness, hair loss, or even mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed that I feel more fatigued than usual, and my concentration at work has decreased. I don’t know if this is related to masturbation or if it’s due to my irregular sleep schedule and stress from work. I also sometimes feel guilty because I wonder if this is impacting my energy levels or causing imbalance in my body. I have heard that Ayurveda has specific perspectives on this topic, especially regarding the loss of “Shukra dhatu” and its potential effects on vitality and strength. Can you please explain how Ayurveda views masturbation? Is it harmful if done occasionally, or does it lead to long-term health problems? Are there any herbs, dietary practices, or lifestyle changes that can help restore energy and balance if someone feels weak after masturbating? How can I ensure that my body stays healthy and balanced?
