I am 21 years old heavily addicted to masturbation from 5 years. I have keep on doing it 4-5 times per week, don't know if I have got any of diseases like Premature Ejaculation, Erectile dysfunction, infertility etc. I have tried everything from my side but failed to stop it not even for a week from past 5 years, I want to stop it .So, should I first consult Psychologist/Psychiatrist to stop this bad habit or Sexologist to find out whether I am suffering from above mentioned diseases or not. Please guide me.

Doing masturbation 4 5 times a week is not addiction. If you do more also it can't be called addiction. From your description you don't have any sexual disorder. What you have is anxiety and misconceptions related to sex. Engage in sports and leisure time activities .Doesn't seem you need any consult otherwise.
