Question : Is masturbation having a dengue or malarian fever XXXXXXX to health

Answered by Dr. Shoaib Khan (-4 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Not XXXXXXX to health at all

Detailed Answer:
Hello sir and welcome.

Thank you for writing in.

I would like to start by saying that semen contains zinc, magnesium, vitamins (B6, B12, E), selenium and calcium. All these nutrients help in keeping your immunity strong, and giving you energy and strength.

When you have an infection, you would require all the nutrients in your body to help keep you strong and to fight the infection. So, although masturbation cannot do your body any harm when you have dengue or malaria, it might end up making you feel slightly more exhausted or weaker. You could make up by eating clean fruits and vegetables. Other than this, nothing else to worry about.

Wishing you a speedy recovery and a healthy life thereafter. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications.

God bless.

Thank you very much doctor... actually masturbation freed up my mind a bit and gave me a very good sleep without any disturbance. I took some multivitamins to match up the lost nutrients. Thank you very much doctor for your immediate advice!
