Can masturbation cause cancer?

Posts on social media claiming masturbation can lead to various types of cancer have really been bothering me. Can someone shed some light on whether there is any actual link between masturbation and cancer?

No, it doesn't cause cancer at all. It is a completely natural thing, so please don't worry about it.

There is no scientific connection between the two. However, if you are experiencing any unexplained pain, swelling, or lumps in your private areas, please get it checked by a doctor right away for proper diagnosis.

Hey, don't worry! This is just an old myth used to make people feel guilty about their bodies. It is completely safe and normal, and definitely doesn't cause any kind of cancer.

It is biologically impossible for it to cause cancer. But for general health peace of mind, it is always good to have regular physical checkups and blood tests done under a doctor's guidance.
