Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am addicted to masturbation. I do it every night before I go to sleep, I do not know the reason, but I am addicted to it. And I feel that this is why I have lost my sex drive and stamina. I am experiencing premature ejaculation, and my partner is also not satisfied with me.

Please give me a solution to my problem.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

Masturbation in limit is absolutely normal, and various studies from all over the world have clearly stated that it does not cause any health problems. In medical science, it is considered as normal as drinking water. The cause of your weakness can be anemia or some chronic disease, so I suggest you undergo routine blood investigation like -

  1. CBC (complete blood count).
  2. LFT (liver function test).
  3. RFT (renal function test).

To control your excess masturbation habit, I suggest you follow the instructions mentioned below -

1. Keep yourself busy.

2. Avoid watching pornography and try to stay away from sexually erotic content.

3. Avoid staying alone.

4. I suggest you use certain applications that help in reducing addictions.

I hope this has helped you out.

Thanks and regards.
