What could be done to get rid of excessive masturbation?

Question

Hi doctor,

I masturbate a lot, about two times a day. Is it healthy, and how can I stop this? I feel very guilty after I masturbate, and doubt if it will affect my mind too. Is masturbation harmful to the brain? How can I get rid of this issue? Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your first query consult is on us!

I can understand your concern.

Masturbation (self-stimulation of the genitals for sexual pleasure) is normal, ninety-five percent of males do it, and it is just another way of having sex without a partner. It is a good practice, as it:

1. 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, and a sense of infertility. Ways to reduce masturbation can include:

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 cold baths.

If you are experiencing tiredness or a decrease in strength, you can consider taking capsule Astymin forte (amino acids and vitamins) once in the morning and tablet Shelcal (calcium and vitamin D3) once at night after food for thirty days. Consult your doctor and take the medicines accordingly.

I hope that you get your answer.

Please let me know if you want more help.

Thank you.
