Can Excessive Masturbation Cause Nerve Damage Or Neuropathy?

Hello, please can you answer my question? I am a female 21 years old and I have been addicted to masturbating since I was a child. I was recently told that I may have some type of neuropathy (but it was not proven). May I have damaged nerves in my body due to excessive masturbation? Thank you for your answer.

Hi,

No, excessive masturbation doesn't cause nerve damage, but due to some other infections or any sex toys if you are using for masturbation, it can sometimes interrupt with you feel. Don't use other toys for masturbation and you can have some neurology surgeon to confirm any other neuropathy is present or not. As for your question, there won't be any nerve damage for excessive masturbation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mugilvannan M., General & Family Physician
