Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I am an 18-year-old male. I am 5 feet 5 inches tall and weigh 46 kg. I have been masturbating for the past six years, and now I am sick. If I masturbate now for 5 to 6 times per month, then I get jaundiced. I have had this problem for three years. I am suffering from nightfall. Sometimes, it happens three times a week, sometimes 2 and 1. I cannot control my ejaculation. It happens within 30 seconds or less than a minute. I ejaculated three times a day. Sometimes, semen also comes out in the urine. Before, I used to masturbate four times a week, but for the past two years, I have masturbated two times, sometimes three times. These days I have little pain in my penis. I use both my hand and pillow to masturbate. I also watch porn videos. Before, I used to watch a lot, but now I have minimized it. For nearly five months, I have been facing lots of health issues like jaundice, loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach problems, pneumonia and weakness. I have taken treatment for these, but the jaundice is not getting cured. Now, I am suffering from pneumonia and under treatment.

Six years before masturbation, I had no history of health issues. But after masturbation, life is hell. Before, I was addicted to masturbation, but now I am trying to control it. When I masturbate, the day after, pimples come out on my face, but after one year, it has started to come on my chest and back. I searched on the internet that masturbation does not cause any harm, and it is completely natural and safe. But this is not working for me. So, please help me to get rid of these problems. I want to masturbate and do not want to quit. So, please give me a way to masturbate and stay healthy. My penis size is 5 inches long, and my foreskin is completely out. I get easily erected. I have attached pictures of my penis. I am not very comfortable sharing this. Hence not discussed it with anyone.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thanks for using this platform. I read your query and understand your concerns.

I have seen your attached photographs (attachment removed to protect patient identity), and anatomically nothing is abnormal with your penis.

Regarding masturbation, I need to stress again that it is completely harmless and unrelated to your health issues. However, this kind of health problem can occur to all of us, and there are multiple reasons for this.

I agree that you are facing a jaundice issue with not much success. But, it will be better if you can attach your liver profile report from the laboratory.

If you do not have one, please get these tests done when you feel you have jaundice.

  1. HBsAg (hepatitis B surface antigen).
  2. Serum bilirubin.
  3. SGPT and SGOT (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase).
  4. Serum alkaline phosphatase.
  5. GGT (gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase).
  6. Prothrombin time.
  7. Serum proteins.
  8. Complete blood count.

These tests will help us to determine the cause of jaundice, if any.

Regarding pneumonia, it may occur in any person, and nobody is immune to it. In case you are getting it more frequently, then you have to get your immune status checked. Then, it will be appropriate to consult a specialist for a further physical evaluation.

Regarding early ejaculation, I recommend you practice the kegel exercise. I cannot describe it here, but you can google the Kegel exercise to learn tips.

You need to perform these contractions 30 times thrice a day, making it 90 contractions per day. This will help you in controlling your sperm and prevent night falls.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
