Hello doctor! I am suffering from the aftereffects of overmasturbation. I am 22 years old and i masturbated for 9 long years continuously. A year back i started feeling many problems due to this addiction and i started trying to quit masturbation but u know that addictions arent easy to get rid of quickly. Finally almost after a year now i havent done it for 20 days now and i am planning not to do it ever again but the problem is that i am not recovering. I havent noticed much improvement in the past 20 days. I just need to know whether this damage can be fixed by refraining from masturbation or not. Tell me about any specific diet that i need to take and any specific routine or rest schedule. Following are the major symptoms: - My pelvic muscles have become weak. I feel light pain in my groin, lower back, theighs etc. - I feel tired and feel lack of stamina. I get tired after 5 minutes of running spree. - I have weak erections and even when i get erect it lasts for just a minute if i stop touching my penis - I dont have morning erections as i once used to have. - The size of my penis has been reduced when erect from almost 7 inches to like 5 inches. the girth has been reduced as well - My penis is no longer that sensitive to touch. I have to struggle to get an erection. - I have also developed concentration problems like lack of focus, loss of memory - I also have an inconvenient feeling in my prostate region and i heard that overmasturbation causes enlarged prostate. Kindly tell me what to do besides refraining from masturbation. Just to let u know that physically i look healthy but internally i am sexually and psychologically exhausted. In the past 20 days of abstinence i had WET DREAMS twice. Tell me how to stop wet dreams and dont lose any further energy. Thankyou in advance. God bless you!
