Brief Answer: Masturbation is not harmful Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query. I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through. Masturbation is not harmful. Its a safe way of expressing out ones sexual desires. In long run, its not going to effect your health in any way. Its only harmful if you are compelled to do it by exclusion of the rest of the daily life pressures. Like if you are cutting out meeting out the friends or going out with your family or not able to complete your work cause of the over indulgence in masturbation, then it is a problem. Further if the excessive masturbation is causing distress then the same should be treated. naltrexone has a role in controlling excessive masturbation. Pain in the left testicle could be due to partial torsion and if it is frequent the same needs to be inspected by a surgeon and a doppler will have to be done. Hope I am able to answer your concerns. If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you. If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
