When a developed egg is released from the ovaries, it is called ovulation. The sperm may or may not fertilise the released egg. If the egg is fertilised, it travels to the uterus and implants, resulting in a pregnancy. On the other hand, if the egg is not fertilised, it sheds along with the uterine lining, causing menstruation.

Several women are still unsure whether or not female masturbation affects ovulation. There are currently no specific studies that link orgasm and chances of conception. Masturbation has health benefits and improves your mood, but it has no influence on ovulation. 

Can masturbation have an influence on fertility?

When a sperm cell fertilizes an egg cell, conception occurs. This happens in the fallopian tube rather than the uterus, as you might think. The sperm cell must go to the fallopian tube and fertilize the egg by breaching the outer membrane in order for conception to occur. This means that ovulation must occur prior to fertilization to guarantee that the egg is ready.

Masturbation has no effect on fertilization or conception since it has no effect on the egg cell or the sperm cell.

Masturbation is a healthy, natural, and risk-free method of self-care. Masturbation may have numerous mental and physical benefits. There are almost seldom any bad side effects. It has no effect on fertility and can be a healthy and enjoyable activity for many people.
