Brief Answer:
Masturbation is completely normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic

After reading your query,I would say that masturbation is completely normal when it is done in privacy without hurting genitals.

It is just like 'self sex' and will never cause any harm to the body or even in your future life.

Also,Masturbation is very unlikely related to urine holding or any kind of urinary difficulty.

The reason could be anxiety or stress behind that which usually subsides by itself within few days or just symptomatic anti-anxiety medications for few days.

Some local doctor or nearby GP may prescribe this drugs.

Here,I would also advice you to take balanced diet and keep your self healthy and fit.

Here are some tips which will help you to prevent early or premature ejaculation.

1. Half an hour of exercises like running, swimming, etc. Exercise will reduce your stress and improve your health.

2. Quit smoking or other drug use. These can narrow blood vessels of penis and have been linked to premature ejaculation.

3. Sunlight exposure inhibits the body’s natural production of melatonin, a hormone that helps us to sleep and also reduces our sexual urges. Less melatonin means more sexual desire.

Hope it will clear to you now,and if any query then feel free to ask me.

Brief Answer:
Frequent urination is not abnormal.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for the reply.

Frequent urination is normal as winter season is started in our country and also your daily water intake is slightly more as compared to normal which could also be the reason of your frequent urination but there is nothing abnormal in that.

Also,it appears that you have problem of getting hard erection while attempting for sexual intercourse or perhaps during masturbation.

You are having feeling of not tough penis during erection which is not so abnormal but below listed measures will help you to boost up your confidence and getting good erection.

1) Do regular exercises for about 30 minutes followed by meditation for 1/2 an hour in the morning that helps in improving concentration & builds up the confidence level. Avoid stress.

2) Take high protein diet rich in diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey and also take vitamin A,C,D,E and Zinc.

3) Take anti oxidants like Almonds 5-6 everyday.

4) Avoid alcohol and smoking if you do.

If anything else then just let me know.

Dr.Sandip
