Addiction To Masturbation Affecting Normal Life. Suggestions?

hello sir! i have been engagad , but i will marry after 3 years after completing my Bsc. From the time of engagement i usually think about my upcoming sex life, which has affected my normal life. I am now endulged in masturbation addiction too! What should i do to jump to my normal life? I m now 22 years? Should i marry immediately or take some other substitutive steps because neither i nor parents are interested in immediate marriage of mine. well sir! your argument seems meaningful. i will throughly act upon this, but many sources urge that excessive masturbation is harmful...what will you say about this?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
welcome to Healthcare Magic.

Masturbation is considered as a part of normal human sexual behaviour. It is is very common among young males with prevalence more than 80%. It does not have any bad effects on health and does not lead to any medical problems.

Some people have many wrong ideas about masturbation - that it causes ill effects on health like nervous weakness, reduced energy, etc or sexual problems like impotence in the future. All this is not true and these are just myths and misconceptions in society.

If you are having excessive worry regarding masturbation or if you have guilt related to masturbation habit, then I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for counseling and education.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
Dr Ashish Kumar Mittal
