In some cases, abstinence has a negative impact on physical health.

The problem is especially relevant for men leading a passive lifestyle. The consequences of abstinence for a long time (more than a year) can manifest themselves in a number of diseases: - Development or exacerbation of congestive prostatitis. Irregular emptying of the gland leads to blockage of the ducts and the multiplication of pathogens; - Varicocele (scrotal varicose veins); - Decreased libido; - Deterioration of erection or impotence. Long-term abstinence against the background of a passive lifestyle after 40 years can result in the development of adenoma, cardiovascular diseases.
