Masturbation is normal it doesn't cause physical problems or sexual problems. Also do not give any importance to advertisement that mention that masturbation cause health problems or destroys life, and masturbation does not require any treatment.
Masturbation is a maintenance procedure. It keeps penis well and regular turnover of fresh semen/sperm.
If you want to reduce it, you should involve yourself in studies, games and hobbies. Also try not to remain alone most of time and avoid por...more

Health Query

Hello! I have been suffering from severe major depression and anxiety since 3 years. I changed many doctors and medicines but to no avail. The doctor I am seeing currently diagnosed me with treatment resistant depression and bipolar effective disorder a year ago, even though I do not experience the manic highs or even hypomania. He put me through ect 22 times which only marginally improved my situation, before ect I used to cry and yell all day. I have extreme fatigue, low motivation, anger irritation, fear, loss of appetite, weight gain due to medications, tremors, loss of confidence, crying spells, blurred vision and extreme weakness due to depression. I am terrified of going outside and blurred vision adds to the fear. Doctors have tried almost all medications: venlafaxine, escitalopram, olanzapine, quetiapine, lithium, valproic acid, paroxetine, clomipramine, and anxiety meds like xanax, rivotril, amylene etc. Right now doctor has put me on clonazepam and prothiaden since 3 weeks, but I have seen no improvement. I took lithium and valproic acid for about 8 months and they only added to my fatigue and weight gain so doctor stopped them. I really need help in terms of medication as I am still hoping there might be one which could take me out of this extreme pain. I am terrified that if I do not get the right help or if there is not a cure, I will have to live like this for my entire life, in bed and barely able to think, eat, move or understand anything. I am 36 years of age, female and from pakistan. I have heard that indian doctors are good. Please help me out of this and suggest any medication and save my life. Thanking you!

Dear Sara,
Your doctor at Pakistan is equally good and she/he has been trying good treatments like antidepressants, mood stabilisers and ECT. Please continue with her/him. Telemedicine in India has jurisdiction in the same country only. It is difficult for you to undergo treatment in India because certain basic tablets only can be prescribed through telemedicine. Intractable depression needs lot of experimental tablets as add on.

Dr. Amit N92%(2942 ratings)

No. The medication that your are taking is good enough for control of seizure disorder. No matter what medications you take you are required to take them for at least 3 years, after the last seizure you had. Only when you do not have seizures for 3 years while on treatment, you can consider decreasing or stopping treatment on advise of your treating doctor.
