Hello Madhu,

The symptoms you describe are not caused by masturbation! If you are experiencing those health problems, and since they're not caused by masturbation I think it's very important for you to try and get checked by a healthcare professional.

I know in some cultures, including England and America in the early 20th Century there was a strong tradition associating semen with health and therefore associating masturbation with "depleting" semen and therefore "depleting" health but it's just not true. There's nothing wrong with masturbating.

For that reason I'm worried that fear of being "found out" for a false illness might be keeping you from getting treatment for a real one!

David
