Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I often read health articles and queries related to male sexual disorder on the internet which makes me depressed. The reason behind reading such article is that I have done excess masturbation in the past and I think that I am suffering from a sexual disorder like leakage of precum after urination. We trust the doctor that he can treat our disorder, but I see most people mention in their post that doctor had no clue about their disease. It increases my stress. I understand how people are frustrated with their sexual health like excess precum, overactive Cowper's gland, etc. I think I am one of them. When I think about avoid reading the health article, I feel that I am doing something wrong because the problem is not solved just by ignoring it. What should I do? Please help me.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. First of all, I would like to tell you that masturbation is a safe and healthy habit. Masturbation does not cause any effects on health whether mental or physical. It is not the reason for premature ejaculation. Masturbation does not result in leakage of sperms or semen. So, there is no need to worry. Excess precum secretion is not an illness. Some people in excitation secrete precum in excess amounts. So, avoid reading any misleading articles and remain relaxed. Masturbation does not cause any effects on health or sexual power. There is no need to worry about that. Most of the humans masturbate in their lifetime, and this is a regular thing. Thank you.

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