Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am 23, and I have too much problem. I have depression, anxiety, and many sexual problems. I watch extreme pornography daily. I think I damage my penis by rough and abnormal masturbation. I am too much worried about it because I face too many complications. How to diagnose whether my penis is damaged or not? Please help me.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Why do you think you have damaged your penis. Is there anything abnormal in the penis? Too much of thinking about it may lead you in depressive mood state. Masturbations is normal thing, maximum persons in your age practice it. If I talk about prevalence you will be shocked, nearly 100 % of male and 70 % female practice masturbation (standard psychiatric book). There is no harm in masturbation, semen is an ordinary fluid like saliva, and in male sperm, it is produced daily. If we do not perform sex or do not masturbate, semen will come spontaneously in the form of nightfall, but that is not again a problematic thing. It is a harmless practice until if you become an obsession, and start hampering your daily life. Thinking about near one in fantasy is also not uncommon, it happens. If you want to quit it first set in your mind that you have not committed any crime, you are going to leave a habit that was trying to conquer you. You can do it. Do not remain in guilt, move ahead and involve yourself in other activities. Try to be with friends and family. You can take help of religious thoughts. Do moderate exercise, reschedule yourself, be active. You can contact some psychiatrist nearby you. Take proper sleep and a healthy diet. Practice yoga and meditation that will help you.

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