Does Over Masturbation Effect Sexual Life?

hello doctor,
i m utkarsh,from kanpur. i m 21 years old. At the age of 15 to 17,i used to masturbate by my hand alot bcoz i dont have the knowledge of its sideeffects.
So at present my penis became so small and it does not erect by anything.
I am very tensed about it,i dont have the capability to sex with my girlfriend.

hi..utkarsh. thanks for writing.. i have understood your concerns..

masturbation is not a bad habit and it does not produce any side effects, it does not cause any sexual and physical weakness. it is a way of satisfying your sexual needs in the absence of sexual partner. if a person does not masturbate then he will develop the problem of night fall.

whatever you are experiencing is because of the anxiety and depression you developed by thinking about masturbation and sexual problems..remove this belief from your mind that masturbation has caused this.

when a person has anxiety and depression, it will affect his sexual feelings, he may have decrease sexual desire, poor erection, erection for short duration, problem with ejaculation etc..

you are completely normal. you do not have any illness. you are able to have sex. just forget about false beliefs. do not believe such kind of myths prevalent in the community..do not take any medicines.

i hope this will be helpful to you.. best of luck..
