Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am facing issues of erectile dysfunction. But, I have a bad habit of masturbation since childhood. I am unable to keep my organ hard for a long time. It is big, very flaccid and not very hard. My testis has got shrunked day by day due to masturbation. Please suggest as I am getting married very soon.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I would like to mention that masturbation does not cause any weakness or sexual dysfunction. It is associated with guilt and anxiety that causes the problems. Do not get worried. Treatment is possible. Consult a psychiatrist or a sexologist in person for evaluation and treatment.

For more information consult a sexologist online --> https://www.icliniq.com/ask-a-doctor-online/sexologist

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
