Does Masturbation Before Puberty Lead to Early Puberty?

Question

Don’t boys generally not masturbate before they enter puberty?

Answer

Masturbation during puberty generally does not affect the body, but excessive masturbation may lead to problems such as prostatitis and kidney weakness. It is recommended to engage in more physical activities, supplement physical quality, and consume kidney-tonifying foods like jujube and lotus seeds. Frequent masturbation may cause changes in hormone levels within the body, which could lead to early puberty. Exposure to sexual stimulation may also cause changes in hormone levels within the body, potentially leading to early puberty.
