Over da past years i was masturbating a lot so im woundering whether this had an effect on sperm quality coz i masturbate everyday( 3 times daily)
HelloWelcome here. I can understand your concerns. I would like to tell you that masturbation does not affect sexual power or sperm quantity and quality. You should go for semen analysis to know the sperm quantity, motility, morphology etc. This will help to determine your fertility. Donot worry just because you masturbate. But yes excessive masturbation can cause fatigue and tiredness. So you should limit your frequency of masturbation to 2-3 times in week. Please revert with the semen analysis reports so that I can guide you further. Hope this helps. Thanks.
