While medication and surgery can sometimes help manage unwanted sexual thoughts or urges, they are generally not the first line of treatment and may not be suitable for everyone. Medications like SSRIs (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) and anti-androgens may be considered, but they often have side effects and are not a quick fix. Surgery, such as deep brain stimulation, is more invasive and carries risks. It's crucial to discuss these options with a qualified healthcare professional who can assess your specific situation and recommend the most appropriate course of action.

Question

I've been feeling pretty anxious ever since lockdown, and it's starting to show up physically. I've noticed I'm having some indigestion issues, like gastric problems or acidity. But what really worries me is this heaviness or dull ache above my left chest that sometimes comes with shoulder and muscle pain. It seems to get worse when I'm anxious or start thinking about my health, and then my heart just races like crazy. Even my oxygen levels are normal. I never had any of these problems before lockdown, so I'm trying to figure out what's going on. It occasionally makes me feel dizzy too. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

Question

Question

I'm 24 and I've been masturbating since I was 18. I usually do it at least once a day, sometimes twice, and I've stayed healthy so far. But I'm starting to worry it might start affecting my life negatively, since I'm having trouble concentrating on other things. Is too much masturbation bad for me? And if so, how do I stop?
