Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX

Thanks for writing to us.

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. Occasional twice a day is also fine. It depends upon individual libido, wish and timing. It neither causes any weakness nor any problem in sexual activity. So your habit of masturbation is absolutely normal.

When masturbation becomes compulsion and you have to do at cost of your daily routine or it make suffer your work, intervention is needed.

Common causes of mouth ulcers:

- Constipation

- Tobacco chewing, smoking

- Some food or toothpaste

- Stress and anxiety

- Some gastro-intestinal diseases

- Nutritional deficiency

You need to consult doctor/ENT specialist for evaluation and treatment for mouth ulcers.


Hope I have answered your query, I will be happy to help further.
