Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am addicted to masturbation since the age of 16 years and now I am 19 years old. I tried to stop it completely but could not. Now I am also having premature ejaculation. I masturbated two to three times in the 21 days challenge but still after a month I went back to where I was. I am using Zincovit, Ashwagandha, and fish oil for recovering from masturbation. How should I stop this activity? I try fasting for two days a week but still do not see much change.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you for stopping by!

I am here to provide expert opinions on your medical issues.

Please try to understand that masturbation is a habit that ultimately gives multiple diseases to the body. So, there can be no particular medicine to stop this habit. You have to change your lifestyle to get rid of this habit. Fasting will not help you. It will result in weakness and temporary distraction. Once your body gets food, you will come back to old habits. First of all, try to limit your internet usage. There are many software which disables certain websites. Secondly, learn meditation. It will transform your sexual energy to the next level. Do not take alcohol, non-vegetarian, or spicy food. It will take some time, but trust me; you just have to form new healthy habits to get rid of old unhealthy habits. As far as medicines are concerned, I would not recommend them at this stage. Try to implement the above steps for 40 days and we will discuss further then.

Thank you.
