Masturbation is a normal part of sexual health for most people and does not cause disease. It becomes a concern when it turns compulsive: when it takes over time, sleep, studies or work, or when someone cannot stop despite wanting to. Many young men also carry heavy guilt and fear from myths they have heard.
Dr. Sheikh's approach is simple and respectful: separate myths from facts, treat real symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety or early discharge, and help you build healthy control.
Myths vs facts
- Myth: it causes permanent impotence. Fact: it does not; anxiety about it can affect performance.
- Myth: it makes the body weak or thin. Fact: tiredness is usually from poor sleep, diet or stress.
- Myth: one drop of semen equals many drops of blood. Fact: this is not true.
Signs it has become a problem
Doing it many times a day, losing sleep, missing work or college, needing more and more pornography, pain or irritation, and strong guilt or low mood afterwards.

हस्तमैथुन की लत: सच और इलाज
हस्तमैथुन से कोई स्थायी बीमारी या नपुंसकता नहीं होती, यह एक आम भ्रम है। समस्या तब है जब आदत कंट्रोल से बाहर हो जाए और पढ़ाई, नींद या काम पर असर पड़े। डॉ. शेख काउंसलिंग, आयुर्वेदिक दवा, योग और दिनचर्या सुधार से मदद करते हैं।
