Posted on Thu, 12 Feb 2015
Question: Is doing masturbations regularly a good thing for both boys & girls?? As I heard that excess masturbation can cause lack of memory, intelligence, concentration power & it also reduces the immunity power. If I am right then what is the way to get rid of from this? Please help me as I have serious addiction on it. I m a boy..thank u.

Brief Answer:
Its safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Masturbation is a safe way of expressing ones own sexual desires. It leads to no physical or mental problems. The sperms and semen which are formed in the body are meant to come out of the body. They cannot be accumulated in the body and like urine they are formed in the body and are thrown out. They may come out on having sex or during masturbation. If you are indulging in none of these then the sperms and semen will come out at night by self (night fall) or routinely during any sexual stimulation. This is a normal phenomenon and will not cause any harm to you. Masturbation is safe and will cause no harm. It is harmful only when indulged in excessively leading to avoidance of normal work and schedule.
In that case naltrexone could be a useful choice as it reduces the pleasure associated with masturbation and over a period of time reduces its frequency. Also try engaging in some kind of sport of extra curricular activity.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Brief Answer:
Not an issue

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Masturbation will lead to "reducing concentration power, intelligence & also,memory".
Its safe to masturbate the partners vice-a-versa. But the fact that you are coming in contact with the secretions, put you in some rare risk of acquiring HIV/HBV etc. While your girlfriend is doing oral sex, make sure you are wearing a condom.
Hope this helps
Kind regards

My girlfriend had bleeding through her vagina on yesterday afternoon. After sometime she had extreme abdomen pain & suddenly she noticed that some tissue like sack shaped structure came out through her vagina with bleeding. After that the bleeding stops very slowly & on today morning when she woke up she saw that the bleeding was completely stopped..now in the afternoon now a bit of bleeding occurs. What was that tissue like thing doctor? Was that an embryo? As we are very much afraid if my girlfriend is pregnant or not!! But we didn't had any intercourse but may be before 5 days I masturbated her & a little amount of my precum enters into her vagina. But we didn't sure about it. Please help us doctor. As we are very young now(20 years).
Also she had polycystic ovary syndrome(pcos). And she also took Ovral L medicine to stop her periods which she though that will occur & she took it about 15days & before 5days of this tissue like thing came out she stopped it. Please help us doctor by saying whether she was pregnant or not?? Also watch the pictures please which I attached in the update reports section. Thank you

Brief Answer:
Follow-up query if any

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Your primary query was about the safety of masturbation. It seems you are satisfied with that issue. If you have any follow-up query about the same issue, please let me know.
If you want to enquire about any new issue like "possible pregnancy of your girlfriend" and " bleeding from vagina", then I request you to ask it as a fresh query, rather than as a follow-up query.
Regards
Dr. Srikanth Reddy
