Yes it i true

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to inform you that masturbation is completely normal and not associated with any side effects. Infact almost 95% men do masturbation in their life time and report no such effects.

Now regarding your symptoms I like to inform you that excessive guilt about anything produces symptoms which are quite similar to depression. The symptoms include lack of energy, lack off concentration, decreased sleep, psychomotor retardation, tiredness, multiple pain symptoms among others.

It is true that idle brain produces more guilt thus is associated with all kind of negative effects as described in your query.

I hope this helps you in understanding the problem.
If you have more questions I will be glad to assist you further.
If you do not have more questions, please close the discussion and if possible rate the answer for my future patients.

Brief Answer:
You need to reduce guilt

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for reverting back to me.

To overcome these problems you need to stop thinking that it is wrong or harmful or alike. The gulit have no place when it comes to masturbation.

As I said above the masturbation have nothing to do with these symptoms as it is completely harmless process.

Having said this reducing frequency can a method to decrease the gilt.

In case you feel that there are still symptoms see a psychiatrist for treatment of excessive guilt.

I hope this assists you further.
Thanks again

Brief Answer:
The guilt augments normal response to pathological

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for follow up.

It is normal to have some tiredness following any exertion including masturbation.

Once you have the preconceptions about something the normal response is augmented to causing fogging of mind, pain and extreme tiredness.

I hope this clarifies.
Thanks again.
