Hello future doctor and welcome.

Do not worry about masturbation, it is a good healthy habit and from various studies conducted is also a mode of releasing frustration. In my opinion, the only real advise you need is to control your needs and sexual desires and not have them control you.

If at all you feel sexually aroused, try to distract yourself and not encourage the feeling. Every time you feel aroused, take a cold shower, or go for a walk, or go out for a game of footsie with your friends, etc. But avoid all activities that can further arouse your like avoid watching television as there is a lot of adult material easily available on television these days, etc.

Hope this helps and I wish you a bright and happy future.

Best wishes.
