Detailed Answer:
Hello Young Man,

Thanks for writing to us.

First of all I want to clarify about the masturbation.
Masturbation is natural and normal thing. It is done by 95% of the males in the world, mostly before marriage as well as when wife is away, in menses or pregnant after marriage. It is not at all harmful. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity.

There is no normal frequency of masturbation. It varies according to individual and depends on age, marital status, physique of body and environment.
Its frequency varies from once in a week to twice daily. If someone has to masturbate compulsorily at cost of routine work or masturbation is creating problem in occupation and/or social life and stress than only it is something abnormal and require treatment. Otherwise masturbation should be done as and when person feels to do it.

From your history it seems that you are addicted to masturbation and it is compulsion for you. Due to energy spent in too much masturbation you have some health issues. Pimples and some reduction in hair density is normal at this age.
You seem to be stressed and frustrated with masturbation habit. You must reduce it.

If you are not able to control on your own, you should consult psychiatrist.
With counseling and anti depressant medicines from SSRI group you of course can quit excessive masturbation. There is also no need of stopping completely.

Take high protein diet and milk to improve your physical health.

You can talk in hindi also.

Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
