Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am a 18-year-old male. I masturbate one to two times a day for three years. I started to have a problem with urinating. I feel my bladder is not emptying properly since a year and a half ago. And also, my peeing routine has changed. I urinate one or two times at night and the frequency has increased now. Is the masturbation causing this, or is it some severe condition? Kindly help.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. Masturbation is normal, and it is just another way of having sex without a partner. It is a good practice, and it helps to calm your mind by releasing happy and stress-busting enzymes. Masturbating two to three times a week is not an issue, more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, sense of infertility. The ways to reduce masturbation are sex education, physical exercises, sleep adjustment, quality of sleep, healthy and balanced diet, programming for leisure time, development of spirituality and taking a cold bath. For tiredness or decrease in strength, I suggest you take capsule Astymin forte (Biotin, Calcium, Amino acids, Vitamins A, C, D3, and E) once a day in the morning and tablet Shelcal (Calcium and Vitamin D3) once daily at night for 30 days. Masturbation will not cause this effect; It can be a urinary tract infection. I suggest you take tablet Uribid 100 mg (Nitrofurantoin) twice a day after food and drink plenty of water. To rule out urinary tract infection, take a complete urine and culture test and revert.

Thanks.
