Question: 'Sir I feel weak and fatigued after ejaculation, I mean I masturbate daily, the cumulative effect is that I feel dizzy and can't focus at a particular work all the time, sometimes I lose strength in my limbs, this is affecting my behavior and efficiency at work place.i used to believe that masturbation side effects is a myth but is it? I'm 30 years :older_woman: old'.
Brief Answer:
Most likely it is due to nutritional factors
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First of all, I like to inform you that your earlier belief was correct and the current belief system needs correction.
It is completely true that masturbation does not cause any form of side effects and the same must be true for you.
Secondly feeling lethargic, fatigue, dizzy, loss of strength in limbs after some form of exertion indicates that there is a need to check for nutrition.
There is a good possibility that you are either anemic or have vitamin deficiency such as b12 deficiency, vitamin D deficiency among others.
In my opinion, there is need to check with doctor in your city so he can do the required clinical examination and may order some tests such as CBC, LFT, RFT, Thyroid profile, Vitamin B12 level, Vitamin D3 level if deemed necessary.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care

sir i had these tests 2 months back and the physician said they are all normal. Furthermore i 've been taking paxidep25 and wellbutrin for the last 8 months because i'm suffering from depression and anxiety as diagonosed by psychiatrist. 1 month back i also visited an endocrinologist he suggested for various hormone tests and subsequently my testosterone was found very low like 124 nl( can't remember the unit). he then advised me to go for sleep diagonsis test as he suspects i have sleep apnea before going for a testosterone replacement therapy.So this is my history but the question is if all these are required?? however my feeling of fatigued and dizzy, numbness in limbs_( while squatting during latrine)loss of stamina was present before taking these above medications and is still present. I experimented by not masturbating for 3-4 days and the conditions got improved i felt. what's going on actually??.BTW i'm 30 years old male. slightly overweight, smoke tobacco and gutka regularly(addicted) take a healthy diet.
Brief Answer:
There is some need for lifestyle change
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
As per the available details, I think the diagnosis of anxiety and depression is confirmed but I do not feel there is a need for sleep study unless there is evidence in favor of sleep apnea.
The most important factor supporting the sleep apnea is the presence of snoring and change in oxygen saturation during sleep.
Although for oxygen saturation we need pulse oximeter for snoring, there is a need for an attendant who can either refuse or confirm the history.
I also feel that there is a need for complete abstinence from all form of substances including tobacco.
At the same time, the exercise needs to be part of your lifestyle as increased weight often causes a lot of problems including sleep apnea, blood pressure, erection problems, hypercholesterolemia among others.
Regarding testosterone, if you are successful in reducing weight the replacement may not be necessary but in case there is excessive fat you will need replacement sooner or later.
This is because excessive fat metabolizes the testosterone in a negative way.
Hope I have answered your query.
