Should we abstain from sex or ejaculate regularly?

The choice of abstinence or regular ejaculation needs to be determined based on individual physiological needs and health status. Long-term abstinence may affect prostate health, while moderate ejaculation can help maintain the functional balance of the reproductive system.

For healthy adult men, moderate ejaculation can help reduce prostate fluid accumulation and reduce the risk of prostatitis. Semen contains zinc, fructose and other components, and regular renewal can avoid environmental imbalance in the reproductive tract. Regular sex or moderate masturbation can relieve sexual stress, improve sleep quality, and promote the stability of the endocrine system. However, attention should be paid to frequency control. Excessive ejaculation may lead to symptoms of kidney qi deficiency such as fatigue, soreness of waist and knees, etc.

Short-term abstinence is necessary under special circumstances. During the postoperative recovery period and severe reproductive system infection, sperm ejaculation needs to be suspended to avoid irritating the lesions. Some religious or cultural believers achieve spiritual cultivation through abstinence, but they need to pay attention to physical feedback. Long-term complete abstinence may increase the viscosity of semen, and a small number of people may experience perineal swelling and pain or emotional irritability. At this time, exercise can be used to distract attention.

It is recommended to adjust the frequency of semen ejaculation based on your age and physical condition. 1-2 times a week is more suitable for young adults, and the interval can be appropriately extended for middle-aged and elderly people. No matter which method you choose, you should seek medical attention promptly if you experience discomfort such as frequent urination or perineal swelling. Keeping the perineum clean and dry, avoiding stress from sitting for long periods of time, and appropriately supplementing with zinc-containing foods such as pumpkin seeds and oysters can help maintain the health of the reproductive system.
