Does Masturbation Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

I never master bated in my 26 year life. Though, nocturnal emission was a frequent event for me. But, recently I tried it once after reading an article that- it has no side effects. After that, I got engaged in this habit two/thrice a week. Now, I have turned into an addict as it happens more- even one time every day! Another fact: I watch pornography to ease the process, as it stimulates sexual desire which at last gives ecstasy that I enjoy most. I watched pornography previously but it was not an every day event. It was occasionally. But, now I have to watch it at least twice/thrice to facilitate masturbation process. It has been three months since I started to develop the habit. I tried hardly to evade pornography and master bate without it. But, my mind urges- your masturbation is incomplete without it/ you haven t got the taste of sex without it- - -what is wrong is watching porn while people are indulging in sex with wife/prostitutes/concubines? Now, I feel tired after it. Is it normal? I am still unmarried. Will it create erectile dysfunction in conjugal life if I have to continue this habit for some more months? Also, I want to get rid of this addiction. But, how? It it possible?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Don't think this can be related to masturbation. Erection problems can have many causes. These include:Physical problems, such as injury to nerves or loss of blood supply to the penis . Other health problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, anddepression. Side-effects of certain medicines. Stress. Drinking too much alcohol or smoking. The exam, lab tests, and sometimes mental health tests can help find out the cause of the problem. Treatment is based on cause and include avoiding tobacco and drugs and limiting alcohol. Also, talking about the issue with your partner, doing sensual exercises, and getting counseling may be beneficial. Finding and then stopping medicines that may be causing the problem. In some cases you can take a different medicine that doesn't cause erection problems. Taking prescription medicine that can help you get erections. These include pills such as sildenafil (for example, Viagra), tadalafil (for example, Cialis). In most cases this is sufficient for treatment but you should just be patient and do necessary tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
