Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi there ~

Masturbation is not abnormal. The urge to masturbate is a normal physiological process. If you are overdoing it, then it may be causing problems for you. I recommend that you visit with a psychiatrist to help resolve any issues remaining even after clarifying this with you. Hope this helped. Take care and have a lovely day!
