Thank you.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern.

Masturbation is normal, ninety-five percent of males do that (out of a hundred male ninety-five males) it is just another way of having intercourse without a partner. It is a good practice, as it has the following benefits.

  1. It helps to relieve stress.
  2. Boosts mood.
  3. Improves sleep.
  4. Helps to prevent depression and anxiety.
  5. Relaxes the mind of a person.
  6. Relieves pain and muscle cramps.
  7. Relieves the sexual tension.
  8. Improves the confidence of a person.
  9. Allows one to have better sex.
  10. Helps the person understand his needs and desires.
  11. In females, masturbation increases vaginal blood flow.

Masturbation will not harm your penis. Having it two to three times a week is not an issue, more than that can cause tiredness, loss of concentration, sense of infertility.

Following are the ways to reduce masturbation:

  1. Sex education.
  2. Physical exercises.
  3. Sleep adjustment.
  4. Quality of sleep.
  5. Healthy and balanced diet.
  6. Programming for leisure time.
  7. Development of spirituality.
  8. Taking a cold bath.

For tiredness or a decrease in strength, you can use

  1. Cap Astymin forte (Vitamin C) once in the morning.
  2. Tab Shelcal (Calcium) once a night after food for thirty days.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk to them, and take the medication with their consent.

I hope this information will help you.

Thank you.
