Masturbation is a normal activity. It does not affect your health any more than regular sexual activity affects it. You should be okay masturbating a couple times a month if you are able to have regular sexual intercourse without problems. However, if your doctor has told you to avoid sexual intercourse for some health reason, I would consider masturbation the same as intercourse and avoid it. Otherwise no problem. Hope this helps.
