How To Stop Masturbation?

Hello doctor! I am suffering from the aftereffects of overmasturbation. I am 22 years old and i masturbated for 9 long years continuously. A year back i started feeling many problems due to this addiction and i started trying to quit masturbation but u know that addictions aren't easy to get rid of quickly. Finally almost after a year now i haven't done it for 20 days now and i am planning not to do it ever again but the problem is that i am not recovering. I haven't noticed much improvement in the past 20 days. I just need to know whether this damage can be fixed by refraining from masturbation or not. Tell me about any specific diet that i need to take and any specific routine or rest schedule. Following are the major symptoms: - My pelvic muscles have become weak. I feel light pain in my groin, lower back, theighs etc. - I feel tired and feel lack of stamina. I get tired after 5 minutes of running spree. - I have weak erections and even when i get erect it lasts for just a minute if i stop touching my penis - I don't have morning erections as i once used to have. - The size of my penis has been reduced when erect from almost 7 inches to like 5 inches. the girth has been reduced as well - My penis is no longer that sensitive to touch. I have to struggle to get an erection. - I have also developed concentration problems like lack of focus, loss of memory - I also have an inconvenient feeling in my prostate region and i heard that overmasturbation causes enlarged prostate. Kindly tell me what to do besides refraining from masturbation. Just to let u know that physically i look healthy but internally i am sexually and psychologically exhausted. In the past 20 days of abstinence i had WET DREAMS twice. Tell me how to stop wet dreams and don't lose any further energy. Thankyou in advance. God bless you!

Hello dear,

Masturbation is a normal phenomena, and does not have any side effect on body or mind, unless you get addicted to it.

Since you are feeling that masturbation is interfering with your normal functioning, you can try out the following measures:
1. Improve your social life by spending more time with friends and relatives.
2. Keep your mind active and busy at all times either through curricular or extra-curricular activities.
3. Have a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey.
4. Avoid fast foods & lipid containing diet.
5. Avoid smoking & alcohol.
6. Keep away stress, think positive.
7. Exercise regularly & practice meditation.

These measures will be helpful in improving your health & build up the confidence level.
Take care.
