I read your query and do understand your concerns. Since you have mentioned about masturbation, it seems that you feel your symptoms are due to masturbation.
Let me clear some misconceptions first. Masturbation is a completely normal physiological process. Once a person becomes sexually mature, semen production starts which is a continuous process. A person the either has sex, or masturbates and has night falls.
Masturbation doesn't lead to any physical or mental health problems. It also doesn't cause any problem with sexual performance, and potency. So you can masturbate without worrying too much.
That brings us to the symptoms of impaired concentration and memory . It might be the result of anxiety and being preoccupied too much about certain things. I would suggest you consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation. Treatment with medications like sertraline or escitalopram might help you with your symptoms.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
