Can Masturbation Be The Cause Of Weaker Erections?

Im 16, from the age of about 13 ive masturbated every day no joke my penis use to be big, i reached 7.2 inches length and a thick girth and use to gain fully rock hard erection in an instant however now im 16 ive suddenly noticed a decline in my penis size i recently measure to check if my worries wer true, i am now only 6.5 inches long, my girth is much smaller, my hand can easily go around my penis and overlap alot, and my erections are much weaker ive asked around researched and found out, , that my masturbating too much has shrunken my penis my flacid penis is that of a childs now, i can fit it all in my hand and once i close my hand i cant see my penis, it fits all into my closed hand my question is to any medically knowledgable people, if i stop masturbation will my penis return in time to its normal size and my erections harden again, ive read that through puberlty if you over masturbate and roughly which i do it shirnks or stops penis growth, mastubation is healthy, maybe 3 times a week, i do it every day maybe 2/3 times day. it shrunk my penis im worried and if anyone medically clever knows how to cure it can u help my flacid penis is far to small, like a childs, there is alot of excess skin now telling me my penis has shrunk, can it be cured if i stop masturbation will it return to normal?

Hi,

Masturbation is not harmful for the body if done in moderation, that is up to three times a week. Penis length do not reduce, but could shrink due to stress, anxiety and other organic problems. If you have excess skin, consult a surgeon for surgical removal.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
