Is excessive masturbation unhealthy?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I have been masturbating since school, but later in my college days it became infrequent, and I felt the difference in my body, lack of energy, confusion, and shivering in my hands and legs. When I tried to stop completely, I ejaculated in sleep, when I wore tight pants, and when I got turned on, I ejaculated in less than five seconds. My health became worse. I have seen doctors saying masturbating is normal, it might be normal if someone does it once a day. Sometimes I have done eight times a day, but I did not realize that time is related to my overall health. This affected my cognitive functions. I visited a neurologist for burning hands and feet, I got diagnosed with B12 deficiency, and he prescribed a Nurokind od (B12 tablet) and Corus (multi-vitamin capsule). The symptoms came down, but the sperm leakage problem was there, this time I did not masturbate, but the leakage issue continued to impact my health, to manage this I had to sleep carefully. It was hard to manage the leakage issue. So to manage my health, I started taking three Nurokind (once a day) and 3 Corus capsules in the morning, afternoon, and night. This helped me to feel better, and with conscious dressing and sleeping, I got better partially. I thought only masturbation worsened my health, so I tried edging, it was fine earlier but now if I get turned on when the colorless fluid comes from the penis, I feel tired, confused, lack concentration, burning sensation around my butt, hands, and legs. I thought my B12 levels had decreased because the symptoms matched the earlier ones, so I started taking the B12 and multivitamin tablets for a few months. This time I did not feel any better and I took a vitamin test and my B12 level was normal. Now, my sperm is leaking in sleep, when I wear anything tight, my penis gets hard then my sperm leaks.
Overall symptoms get better once I take the multivitamins for a few days, again if the sperm leaks, the symptoms come again, then I have to take the multivitamin again. The current symptoms I have once sperm leaks are feeling tired all the time, impaired cognitive skills, and a mild burning sensation around my butt, hands, and legs.
Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Wet dreams or nightfall, called nocturnal emissions, are normal. It can be due to increased erotic stimulus mentally, physically, or visually without sex or masturbation. At this age, you will be having good testosterone production; there will be 20000 sperm produced every minute, and that is a lot of semen production. You need to let it out by masturbation or sex; if not, it will come out on its own when you are very much relaxed (sleep). Since you know the cause, treating it is easy. Reduce the frequent erotic stimulus, masturbate, or have sex.
Ways to reduce the frequent erotic stimuli are:
-
Limit the intake of caffeinated beverages and foods after late afternoon. Consuming caffeine before bedtime can stimulate the brain and cause erotic dreams.
-
Take a cold shower before bedtime. This decreases the excessive sensitivity in the genital region.
-
Limit and control your stress levels. Stress can be a triggering factor for anything and everything. Hence, to obtain a peaceful night’s sleep, keeping a check on your stress levels is necessary.
-
Avoid sleeping on your back or stomach. These positions are known to cause sleep orgasms. Better sleep on your side.
-
Exercise regularly, and keep your body and mind relaxed. Excessive tension or anxiety and body tiredness together elevate your chances of sleep orgasms.
-
Avoid watching and reading erotic content at night. These stimulate both your body and mind and result in wet dreams while you are asleep.
For a temporary solution, you can use the tablet Pari 10 mg (contains 10 mg of escitalopram) once a night for fifteen days.
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am explaining my issue here, you are simply suggesting useless things, have you even checked my blood report? Where did I mention that I am watching or reading erotic content? I said I felt better after taking multivitamins, but again I feel tired once sperm leaks. I am facing premature ejaculation, can not you read and understand the issue? If you do not know what you are doing, kindly refund the money, you are not doing charity here. Already medical industry is fucked up, now you are proving, how deep it is. I already have a good lifestyle, I am not masturbating, and am not addicted to it. Once I get turned on sperm comes out, which makes me too tired, and exhausted all the time. I am facing premature ejaculation.
Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com
I understand your concern.
I read your report that ejaculating in sleep has nothing to do with reports. I hope you read my message - general method to avoid semen leakage during sleep. Premature ejaculation means releasing semen early during sex within a minute- do you have premature ejaculation or nocturnal emission?
I hope this helps.
Kindly follow up if you have more concerns.
Thank you.

Hello doctor,
Whether I am sleeping or not, whenever I get turned on, even tight underwear makes me ejaculate, I mentioned the symptoms in my first message, mild shivering in my hands and legs, hard to focus or thinking, feeling tired all the time, once sperm leaks or ejaculates. But you were explaining about lifestyle changes. I know my body, my body lacks energy, and I am suffering from sperm leaking issue, if it happens in sleep it is nocturnal emission, if it happens while awake, it is premature ejaculation. I hope this answers your question. I need treatment for PE. I shared the report to say that my B12 levels are high, and I do not know if I need to take a blood test to find out what my body lacks. The tiredness and other symptoms lessen once I start taking the multivitamin three times a day.
Kindly suggest.
Thank you.

Taking three vitamins a day is not advisable you may injure your kidneys. if you correct your vitamin and your semen leakage persists you need to think of nerve-related problems, not vitamin-related problems. Medicine to reduce nerve consultation to reduce symptoms once your leakage problem settles your tiredness the problem can settle.
I hope this helps.
