Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Masturbation is normal sexual behavior that helps satisfy sexual desire. It is just like sex but without involvement of partner. It should be done in moderate quantity to prevent complications (3 to 4 times/week).
Following are the disadvantages of excessive masturbation:
• Drowsiness
• Weakness - due to loss of protein and calcium
Back pain, pelvic pain, testicular pain, psychological side effect due to guilty feelings, might be decreased sperm count. Not necessary that all person will have this side effect.
Take healthy diet, do regular exercises, fresh fruits that contain antioxidants, regular milk, eggs and bananas, drink more water. Involve more in your work, spend time with friends and family.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dholariya Sagar Jayantilal
