Brief Answer:
masturbation does not cause sexual weakness.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

I would like to assure you that masturbation does not cause any sexual dysfunction. It does not any sexual weakness.

The semen is produced in the body regularly.
It is discharged from the body either by masturbation or as nightfall.
Nightfall is not a disorder.

Masturbation may cause fatigue as it is energy-consuming process. Do not worry about fatigue.

Masturbation 2-3 times in a week is completely healthy practice.

You would be able to perform well with your partner as there is no reason that your sexual capacity is weak. Do not worry.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to ask further.

Thanks.

Thanks Doctor.

I was masturbating using digital help- Sexchat, Porn and Webcam Sex..Do you think should i continue masturbation further, I should use the same digital help?

I never experienced that fatigue in the last 5 months of masturbation even when i did twice a day sometimes.. Why has that chronic fatigue come into picture now? Did I deplete myself of the essential fluid "Sperm" too much?

Do you think I should go for tests such as Complete Blood Count, Total/Free Testosterone Levels, Adrenals/Thyroids, Level Of Cortisol, Level of acetycholine in Brain, MRI Of Brain (since at times I feel that my head is shaking and I need to take rest) and MRI of Reproductive Tract (since a constant mild burning sensation in the penile area is still there)?

I was prescribed these medicines by a Homeopath..Will these medicines help?
1>. Dr Reckweg's R-41(Fortivirone-Sexual Neurasthenia Drops)
2>.Acid Phosphate
3>.Burguris and Cantharis drops.

And last question-
If I give up masturbation totally before marriage (that is not going to happen before two years atleast), will I have some advantage in terms of my ability to do normal work and my ability to perform on bed?

Thanks

Brief Answer:
masturbation not harmful; no need of any tests.

Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.
Sorry for late response.

Yes you can continue with masturbation. 1-2 times in a week is healthy practice.
The stimulus may be of your choice, digital or anything.

Your body must have become used to it earlier. Then you stopped it for months and started again.
(You can understand it like this- you practice gymming for a month and stop it. Restart it again after 2-3 months. You will fatigued).

No you did not deplete the sperms. The fluid is continuously produced in the body.

There is no need for any tests. Just go for urine complete examination as infection might be causing burning sensation.

I am sorry that I can not comment on homeopathic medicines as I am not the expert in this field.
But in my opinion, You do not need any medicines for sexual issues.

As I told you earlier, masturbation is not harmful. So there is no question of impairment in sexual performance with your partner in bed. Do not worry.
You may or may not continue with masturbation as per your wish, without worrying about sexual performance.

Hope you are satisfied my responses.

Feel free to ask further.

Thank You Doctor.

I got the Urine Routine, Urine Culture and Sensitivity Done at Apollo Hospitals, XXXXXXX

The report came out totally normal with no signs of bacteria.

My Urologist doctor advised me to take antibiotics (Levoflox (1X/Day) and Urispas (3X/Day). But since there was no bacteria reported, I stopped taking them.

When I get sexually aroused, the precum that comes out also brings a little burning sensation and masturbating using hands also seems little difficult because the skin burns a little as I stroke.I do get morning erections though.

Can you suggest an alternative medicine for this mild temporary burning every now and then or should i continue with the antibiotics..Also please suggest a medicine to gain some vitality and vigor lost due to OM.

Many Thanks

Brief Answer:
continue with antibiotics; tentex forte.

Detailed Answer:
You are welcome :)

I would suggest you to continue with antibiotics for burning sensation (as suggested by your doctor) and observe whether it helps.

Other than this, drink lots of water.
You can take alkasip syrup two teaspoons thrice a day.

Never try to pull penile skin forcefully while masturbating.

Always maintain good hygiene of your private parts.
Wear cotton under pants and these should not be tight.

To regain vitality and vigor, you can take herbal formulation 'tentex forte' by Himalayas company, 1 tablet/day. This may help.
Do not worry about performance. You are fine.

Hope this helps.
I wish you good health.

Kindly close the discussion if you are satisfied with the response and give your valuable feedback.
