Suggest Treatment For Depression, Fatigue And Excessive Masturbation
Question: Hello sir! Greetings for the day ! I am working in mnc, where most of the time i engaged into the things which are not requiring the skills which i aqquire. I got married 1.5 yr back, initially i had lot of problem doing sex with my partner, i thought its my work which causes stress that leads to errection problem. Later on i diagnosed with auto immune thyroid, i take thyroxin pills for that and i started exercises for reducing weigjt too. Now my question is i always have urge for masturbation not for sex with my partner. And also i feel depresses, anxiety and all due to masturbation. I was just thinking its normal to do handjob. But mow it leads me to unsatisfied and also makes me under confident. I have read on internet thr over masturbation leads to fatigue, depression, back problem.......... And i feel first two are my case. I awake till late to masturbate by seeing cams on social media or porn. I always feel guilty after doing it. I certainly believe my all problems are because of over masturbation. I love my wife a lot and try to avoid being away from her because of urge for masturbation. I am going to be the dad, she is pregnant for two months. Sir please guide me how to come out from it and give conclusion was my thyroid causing me to have it ? Or by controling i can achieve gud health and confidence? Internet confirms all probs are related to over masturbation but the articles give two type of answers on health care magic 1. Its normal to have masturbation but excess can lead to problem 2. If excess leads to problem then i am the case and is my symptoms of tiredness, sometimes fluctuating BP even after workout of 1 hr daily, headache, depression, cant comcentrate, lonliness leads to porn are the symptoms of over masturbation. I am 27, height 177 cms, weight 107kg . Thanks for your consideration and sir please try to give me perfect way to come out of it so i can concentrate on other aspects of life. And i was confident and very social from childhood and also very active and smart in studies, passed out from IIT, but as of now sir i am already feeling very low. Regards
Brief Answer:
Masturbation is problem when it is compulsion,needevaluation of depression
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing back again.I can understand your concern.
First of all let me clarify about 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. Frequency of masturbation done by an individual varies from once a day to once a week. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity.
However when masturbation becomes compulsive or used as cope up behavior to relieve stress and person feels uncomfortable when he cannot do it, it is problematic.
There is no normal frequency of masturbation by which we can define over masturbation.In general one act of masturbation requires 100-150 calories. So it is not so much energy consuming. But when person does the same at cost of routine work and daily life we can say it over masturbation. When person does continuous masturbation 3 to 4 times it can cause fatigue. masturbation dose not cause back problem directly. Position while masturbating can cause backache.
- Let me know your position of masturbation.
Thyroid problem is associated with stress, depression and sexual dysfunction. And initial sex problem in life in turn caused more stress. Masturbation gives stress relief.To satisfy sexual desire masturbation is very useful and safe approach. All of these reasons are responsible for more masturbation in your case.
Your masturbation is due to your psychological disturbance.All physical features are also likely due to stress. Masturbation is not directly responsible for all symptoms.It may be worsening your symptoms due to use of energy.
In my opinion masturbation is ok if your wife is pregnant but frequency and when you do it that matters.However you should not avoid your wife at all. In pregnancy she needs care and emotional support from you.
- Let me know your frequency of masturbation and when you do it.
From your narration it seems that you are in depression likely.Thyroid is one of the causes for it. You have already started treatment of thyroid that is good.Your weight is also high. You are working on the same.
But still you need evaluation for depression by a psychiatrist.If it is so you can be treated with antidepressant. Psychiatrist can help in this aspect as well as to solve your problem of masturbation.
You are young and intelligent person with bright career until now. And you can come back on the track with help of a psychiatrist. Do not hesitate to consult psychiatrist.
Hope I have answered your all queries, I will be happy to help further.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.

Yes sir, thanks for the reply. I masturbate whenever i am alone. And i dont have urge to have sex but i feel more fun in masturbation. And initially i had to use porn to have errection with wife. And yes i couldnt take enough sleep due to this . Whenever i am alone i engrossed into it, by seeing porn or online chats. I dont do it by desire. It happenes to me whenever i am alone. Can i be better by quiting it? Becaue i feel my tiredness and mood swings due to this only. Sometimes i do handjob for hours. That causes lot of stress. I asked my friends they too add same as me.

I do it atleast 1 ce in day sometimes it continues for hours by seeing porns and video chat. Suggest me remedies. I will try my best to stop over masturbation.
Brief Answer:
you are using masturbation to relieve stress likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for clear information.
As I already described that masturbation is stress relieving. You also mentioned that you feel more fun. Gradually in stress you became habitual and addicted to masturbation.(For example: when person uses alcohol to relieve stress,he gradually becomes addicted to the same and later on suffers from alcohol related health problems. In this case we need deaddcition from alcohol as well as treatment for that stress also which has induced alcohol intake.)
Yes long hours of masturbation of course can cause fatigue but not mood swings probably.How this habit started that is to be evaluated. You told that initially problem in sex and then thyroid problem created stress in your life and then masturbation increased.This means stress was before you engaged in masturbation excessively.
Stopping masturbation of course will help. It will save your energy and timing which you can use in other daily routine activities, at your work and with your wife.I appreciate your attitude and willing power. Just try to stop masturbation for 1 week.Initially 2-3 days you may have some discomfort but later on you will improve.
But main point is how much stress level is there in your life. Does this stress is causing depression or not that must be clarified. If only excess stress is there it can be treated with stress management and counseling.If depression is there it can be treated with medicines and /or psychotherapy.
For a while take healthy diet(more fruits and vegetables, no fat), continue daily exercise(keep losing weight gradually), keep your sleep hours regular and 6-8 hours in quantity, take thyroid treatment regularly and spare enough time with family/friends and do not leave yourself alone.
Hope I have answered your concern.
Feel free to discuss further.

Thanks for the guidance. Last thing i have now habbit of thinking negative just bcos of my such habbits. I already asked u that i always feel guilty having sex by seeing porn, and one of the time when we have planned for baby, it makes me think negative that wether my baby will not have any impact due to my situation of not getting mood to have sex and confident sex. Means thogh we had a sex by watching porn and i was stresses it wont create any disturbance on babies life ? My wife is very happy go person and she is active too. So babys health mainly depends on mothers health right?
Brief Answer:
yes your health would not affect baby's health
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for follow up.
There is nothing wrong in dong sex by seeing porn. According to different survey 30 to 60% of males watch porn during their lifetime. So it is totally personal thinking that it is wrong or not. But in my opinion it is not harmful or guilt producing.Only addiction to porn and involvement in unsafe sexual practices are harmful.
I have already mentioned in our discussion before few days that your health not at all directly related to your baby's health and your habit of watching porn and stressful situation will not create any bad impact on future baby,you just need to take care of your wife.She should take proper diet, supplements and antenatal care advised by doctor.
Do not hesitate to ask if still any confusion.
