Report Abuse
Psychiatrist 's  Response
Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to us.
I understand your concern
Masturbation itself is a healthy part of sexual enjoyment and does not have any adverse effect on body structure, memory.
Masturbation is seen even after marriage. There is no age limit for sexual intercourse and hence for masturbation.
There is nothing like excessive masturbation or over masturbation.
Just as 'excess' of sexual intercourse cannot lead to weakness, so also 'excess' of masturbation. Sexual intercourse is not BAD HABIT, so also the masturbation.
Your problem does not need any medicines. Just have psychological counseling with sex therapist or psychiatrist.
Have green leafy vegetables and protein rich food.
Pass some time with sports and your friends. See some good entertainment TV serials daily. Go for regular physical exercises daily like running, jogging, and swimming.
Relax and go ahead.
Have good health.
