Masturbation is normal and healthy
Masturbation is a common and normal behavior for both males and females. It does not cause negative health issues or impact relationships when done in moderation.UTIs
While masturbation is generally safe, any activity involving the genitals can potentially introduce bacteria which could lead to a urinary tract infection (UTI). Proper hygiene can help prevent transmission of bacteria. UTIs are easily treatable with antibiotics if one develops.Other myths
Many other myths suggest masturbation can cause issues ranging from hair loss to blindness. These claims are not supported by science. Masturbation has not been found to cause any major health issues. I aimed to summarize the key points related to common myths without speculating further on the topic. Let me know if you need any clarification or have additional specific questions I can assist with answering.Disclaimer: This article is for informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
