Does masturbation cause loss of zinc leading to loss of appetite?

Masturbation can lead to a loss of zinc, as semen contains a significant amount of zinc. Repeated ejaculation without adequate dietary zinc intake can result in a zinc deficiency123. However, there is no direct evidence linking zinc loss from masturbation to a loss of appetite.

Zinc deficiency can cause various health issues, including impaired growth, weakened immune function, and decreased fertility24. While zinc plays a role in many bodily functions, its deficiency is more commonly associated with problems like impaired wound healing, hair loss, and decreased sense of taste, rather than directly causing a loss of appetite2.

If you are experiencing a loss of appetite, it might be due to other factors such as stress, hormonal changes, or nutritional deficiencies unrelated to masturbation. It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
