Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 18 years old and I have been prone to masturbating for the past three years, and now I have erectile dysfunction. Is there any way I can treat this without any medication or any surgery? I have not consulted any doctor yet.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Masturbation is normal and does not cause physical problems or sexual problems. Also, do not give any importance to an advertisement that mentions that masturbation cause health problems or destroys life, and masturbation does not require any treatment. Erectile dysfunction can be due to stress or anxiety or due to a physical cause. For physical cause, you need to do some blood tests like sugar and hormones. Stop smoking if you smoke. If you are taking any medicine or nutritional supplement on regular basis then it may be due to the side effect of that. But general exercise will help you.
