Over-masturbation Has Side Effects? Why Is There Loss Of Sexual Desire? Will I Recover?

Hi doctor, Does Over-masturbation for five months cause any major effects. I hve been doing it 4 times a week and that too only for 4 or 5 months.Once i came to know that it has effects, i left it. Now i dont have the sexual feeling at all. Will i get recovered if i dont masturbate for a year or it will take more time to recover?

hello

welcome to healthcare magic

Since you were doing masturbation 4 times in a week..... it does not have side effects as such except in some chronic cases (compulsive acts)

Just relax and lessen your anxiety....... it does not cause any harm ..... wait for few days and do preferrably once or twice a week

However, I would like to know the side effects you have experienced if any

Hope its of some help

Good luck

Thanks

Psychiatrist Dr. Suneet Upadhyaya's  Response
hi,
masturbation is a natural, normal act which is performed by majority of males and even females at some stage of life, started mostly during adolescence. Many researches have proved that it does not cause any health problems, irrespective of duration or frequency. Weakness due to masturbation is propagated by many quacks to fool patients. Many persons really feel weakness and sexual problems,but these are psychological effects. Once you remove guilt feelings, you recover from all problems. there is no physical harm even either you continue it or stop it.
best of luck for your happy sexual life
