Does masturbating make you lose eggs?

Question

So I heard that  women have a certain amount of eggs that they are born with and I was wondering if masturbating frequently minimizes your chances of having children or increases your chance of running out of eggs so your are unable to have the option of children.

When you masturbate, you stimulate your sexual organs, and this eventually leads to an orgasm.
An orgasm happens after an increased bloodflow is built up in the genitals, muscles become tense, and then, all at once, it is alleviated, which results in rhythmic contractions among other pleasurable feelings (i. e. the climax).

A female orgasm has nothing to do with your eggs.

Your eggs are stored in your ovaries, which are attached to your fallopian tubes, which are attached to your uterus. You have hundreds and hundreds of eggs from the moment you are born, but they are not "mature" eggs that can be fertilized by sperm. Each month, only one egg will become "mature" (sometimes two). This means, that monthly, you will only lose, one egg (max two) regardless of whether you masturbate, have sex, or neither. At the end of your menstrual cycle, you will either become pregnant (because the egg has been fertilized) or have a period (because the egg was not fertilized and died after it became "mature").

So, I'll say again, when a woman orgasms, she is not losing any eggs. She is just experiencing a climax.

Hope this helps :)

No, no, no.  Eggs are only released when you ovulate (meaning, at a specified time during the month).  Then, if they're not fertilized, they're shed with the rest of your uterine lining when you have your period.  Masturbating has nothing to do with it.  It sounds like you heard some anti-masturbation propaganda.

The endometriosis is completely unrelated to the eggs. Masturbation is unrelated to release of eggs. An egg is released monthly, only. The endometriosis can affect your period and can cause problems with fertilization, but there's nothing to worry about that now... talk with your gynecologist later when you want to start a family.

In the meantime, masturbate as much as you want! ;)

No, you do not use an egg when you masturbate, you lose one egg each time you go through your menstrual cycle.

Masturbation is a very healthy way to get to know your body and provide yourself some pleasure, exercise, and long term mental health benefits.

If you enjoy it, have at it!

Absolutely. That's why pregnant women don't ever masturbate. They could lay their fertilized egg.

No. It will happen with ovulation every month

No only periods make us lose eggs

...that makes no sense.  how did you come to that conclusion?  masturbation has absolutely no affect on eggs or ovaries or anything like that.  that's as absurd as the people who say that "Every time you masturbate, God kills a kitten."
