How To Overcome The Addiction Towards Masturbation?
Hello Doctor. How are you? I am 23 Years old man, I started to masturbate when I was about 15 even now I can not stop it. The main reason that I can not stop it because I can not sleep until I do masturbate. I got married before two years and I felt like my erection is not usual, plus I couldn t last longer in bed. for some other reasons me and my wife got divorced and now I started to do masturbation again and I will not fall asleep until I reach orgasm otherwise I have to stay in bed for one hour or more sometimes till I sleep. My questions are: How can I stop masturbation? Can my erection get better? Can I stay longer in bed? How can I sleep without masturbation? I will appreciate if you recommend some medical things for me. Thank you very much for your replay P.S: Sorry for my bad English.

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have addiction towards masturbation which is a health phenomenon and complete normal process and cannot be stopped immediately. It is due to high level of testosterone in body. Yes excess of it may cause problems at times. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to gradually phase it out by decreasing the frequency and divert your attention from it and its thoughts. You can engage yourself by keeping focus on your work, studies and outdoor activities and and avoid watching porn movies. You can visit psychiatrist and get counselling done as it will benefit you. Avoid taking any medication.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
