Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I want to get rid of my OCD and obsessive masturbating habits. Are inspiration and willpower sufficient to overcome these?

Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Masturbation is a completely typical response and a natural activity. Almost everyone engages in it, and there is no danger in doing it frequently. Generally after masturbation, there is only psychological weakness; there is no bodily weakness. Additionally, it does not expedite aging. All of these changes are natural. Your sexual life will not be impacted by masturbation in the future. Since this is not an illness, there is no need to take any medication to stop it. Masturbation has no adverse effects on your sexual health, body composition, or level of fitness, nor does it make you weak. Another misconception is that semen cannot flow during urination; in reality, the prostate is simply secreting normal fluids.

I hope this helps.

Thank you and take care.

Regards.
