Hello Young man,

Thanks for writing to us.

Sudden loss of appetite, desire for sex and sleep can be due to some kind of infection/flu or stress.

To guide you further I need more information.

- Since when are you suffering from this problem?

- How did problem start? Was there any event before you suffer from this?

- Are you involve in sex or just enjoy the masturbation? Provide brief details.

- Do you have any physical illness or other symptoms?

Waiting for your response.

Thanks for replying doctor
Im pretty sure im not suffering from flu im not sure anout infection but im kinda healthy except for lack of sleeping, loss of sexual desire, hard to maintain a erection and loss of appetite.
These problems happened since last friday all of a sudden since i was waking up at the middle of the night(which it almost never happened, i used to sleep pretty well) and found out i have no morning wood. Plus actually before these events happened i assume i had a lump on the back of my neck three weeks ago and i was worried about it a lot ive seen a doctor before but i was not convinced by her and now i went to see another doctor few days ago and she said its just a tight muscle so i kind have a relief but im still sleeping bad no sex drive hard to maintain erection and no appetite after the good news.
I was really into both sex and masturbation before, im having a relationship with my girlfriend for 4months now and i was always sexualy active, when we just dated each other we tend to have sex everyday sometimes i event masturbated before we went out for a date and had sex and still i have no problem with having secual desire and erection. In addtional i was masturbating almost daily beforw all thesw happened
Again thanks for the reply doctor im really hoping someone could give me a diagnose of my list pf problems...

Brief Answer:
it is likely stress - anxiety related

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for information.

Your situation is likely due to stress. Your apprehension about the lump in back has provoked this stress. Sometime such type of stress reaction affects body's hormonal system and person suffers from such symptoms.

You need not to worry much. Performance anxiety also plays role in such cases.

Paying attention to erection leads to performance anxiety. Sometime due to fatigue, lack of mood, situational problem or environmental changes man can fail in sex. It is normal phenomenon. After such failure when person actively thinks about erection or success of intercourse/masturbation, his mind is likely diverted to such thoughts. This is called performance anxiety. For constant erection continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in mind. If mind diverted to concern about erection, erection becomes weak or lost.
Sometime after such concern due to stress sexual desire also lost.

I recommend testing of thyroid and serum testosterone level for assurance.

Avoid sex-masturbation for 4-5 days and do not think actively about it.
Follow healthy lifestyle. This includes regular daily exercise (walking or running), hygienic food habits (no junk food, no fatty food, preferably only home-made food with law salt and fat with more fruits and vegetables) and timely scheduled sleep.Though you do not have appetite, try to eat on time. For sleep try to follow some measures called 'sleep hygiene' which would help in sleep. You can find the same in below link.

Yoga- meditation can also help.

In between whenever you feel desire for masturbation do it without being apprehensive about erection.

Even after a week you do not improve, consulting psychiatrist once for counseling and/or short course anti anxiety medicine will surely help.

Take care.
