    Not ejaculating for 15 days usually has no obvious benefits to the body, but it also does not cause health damage. Storage of semen for too long may increase the risk of prostate congestion. Moderate semen discharge can help maintain the health of the reproductive system.

    The male reproductive system has a natural metabolic mechanism, and semen is naturally renewed through nocturnal emissions or body absorption. Storage of healthy male semen for 15 days may cause a feeling of fullness in the scrotum, but it will not affect the spermatogenic function of the testicles. Prolonged abstinence may cause prostate fluid to accumulate and increase the probability of mild inflammation. Regular semen ejaculation can promote the circulation of prostatic fluid and reduce the risk of bacterial retention. There is an inverted U-shaped relationship between semen quality and abstinence time. Complete abstinence for more than 7 days may reduce sperm motility.

    In special circumstances, such as post-surgery recovery or acute inflammation of the reproductive system, doctors may recommend short-term abstinence. Some religious practitioners need to cooperate with long-term abstinence from diet and meditation practices, but there is a lack of clear medical evidence to support its health benefits. Short-term abstinence from high-intensity exercise may increase testosterone levels, but the effect only lasts a few days. In patients with chronic prostatitis, excessive abstinence may aggravate pelvic congestion symptoms, and the frequency of ejaculation needs to be adjusted according to medical advice.

    Maintaining a frequency of ejaculation 2-3 times a week will help maintain the health of the reproductive system. Avoid sitting for long periods of time to oppress the perineum. When scrotal swelling or discomfort during urination occurs, you can take a sitz bath in warm water to relieve the symptoms, and seek medical examination if necessary. Pay attention to supplementing your diet with zinc and vitamin E, and do moderate pelvic floor muscle exercises such as squats. Abnormal semen color or painful ejaculation require timely investigation of urinary system diseases to avoid extending the abstinence period on your own.
