Brief Answer:
masturbation in general does not affect physical or sexual health

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

You are 22 year young man. Many young males like you sometime hear misconceptions about masturbation and by believing the same suffers from some problem which are mostly psychological in origin.

First of all some clarification about masturbation.

Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor does any problem in sexual activity. It also not affects marital life or capability of producing children as well future child health. So your habit of masturbation is absolutely normal.

When masturbation becomes compulsion and you have to do at cost of your daily routine or it make suffer your work, intervention is needed.

From your history I do not think that your masturbation is addiction or compulsion. Your main problem is likely due to your misconception about masturbation. Due to these thoughts you feel anxiety and secondary pain and weakness. One act of masturbation roughly requires only 100 Kilo calorie which is almost less than 5% of total requirement of body. It cannot cause bone pain or leg pain.

But yes your wrong apprehensions about consequences of masturbation can cause such symptoms psychologically.

After this explanation and clarification first of all you need not to worry about masturbation habit. Suppression of sexual desire by avoiding masturbation is also not good. If you are doing daily once I do not think it can create any problem. Just take healthy food and do regular exercise.
As time will progress and you will be busy with your life responsibilities frequency of masturbation will automatically reduce.

If you feel your masturbation is compulsion or addiction and it is taking almost more than 1 hour per day of your important time, let me now.


Only one possibility of your problem is vitamin B12 deficiency. You can go for testing of serum B12 and if it is less supplements in form of medicine or injections can be given.

Do not hesitate to ask if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Brief Answer:
You can stop masturbation on your own or with counselling

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for follow up. Extremely sorry for delayed response.

As I have already mentioned masturbation is not the cause for your problem. You can count your body mass index (BMI) from your height and weight. If it is normal, no need to worry.
Masturbation requires energy from body. So you may feel some tiredness immediately after masturbation but it would not last whole day.

Serum Vitamin B12, thyroid and hemoglobin levels are to be checked as they are primary causes of weakness in this young age.

Your weakness is more psychological than physical if above investigations and BMI will come normal.

You should increase protein (milk,egg,pulses) in your diet with fruits and vegetables.

For satisfaction you can take multivitamin tablet( felicita OD/ Nervone forte/ Rechmap Gold/ Neurokind Gold) once a day for one month after meal.

You can stop masturbation or reduce frequency on your own with motivation. you need to keep yourself much busy in daily routine and do regular exercise. This will make you sleep fast and you would not get time for masturbation.

Even after with this explanation you do not feel better in 10 days you should visit psychiatrist/sexologist for detail counselling sessions.
Feel free to discuss further.
