Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I had my first attack one month ago. I felt weakness in my left arm, hand, fingers, left leg, foot, and toes. Also, I cannot control my finger movements. It kept getting worse every day until I could not move my ankles and my toes. I had a cortisone course of eight days. It got finished a week ago. And now, I am having immunoglobulin therapy. I am getting better every day, and now I can move my ankle and toes. My question is, will masturbation affect me at all? I am currently taking three medications Vitamin D3 as Cholecalciferol, Neurobion as Vitamin B1, B6, and B12. I took a lot of blood tests, MRI scans, and CT scans. Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am sorry to learn about your condition, and I am glad you are getting good treatment. I wish you all the strength you need to lead an everyday life despite your MS (multiple sclerosis). As to your question: Masturbation does not affect your MS whatsoever. Of course, compulsive masturbation, especially combined with prone, can cause hyper-arousal states that can be a problem in a marriage. But at the age of 16, moderate masturbation is not a problem. Also, not when we consider your MS. So feel free to release your tension sometimes. Please stay strong. Thank you.
