Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am a 23-year-old male and I am suffering from shrinkage problem of my penis due to over-masturbation, premature ejaculation, and weak erection. The glans of my penis are not developed properly and I have been masturbating for the last ten years. My penis is very thin and small, only about 4 inches during erection with closed glans and I face problems during extracting my glans in an erect position. The glans of my penis are very sensitive too. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

Masturbation is a healthy way of satisfying your sexual desires and does not have any side effects. You can do it daily or on alternate days. You will be enjoying better, if you do on alternate days rather than daily. Semen is produced daily in our body and masturbation will not affect your health or fertility. One precaution to be taken is that never hurry to discharge and delay ejaculation always by at least five to ten minutes. There are so many myths about masturbation on the internet. Anything more than 5 cm is normal. If the problem persists, consult an andrologist.

Hope my answer helps you.

Thank you for consulting me.
