View allI've got a really tough situation where I just can't fall asleep without masturbating. It feels like it's become a habit I can't shake, and it's starting to worry me. I've tried exercising a lot to tire myself out, hoping it'll help me sleep better, but it doesn't seem to work. Is there something I can do to change this pattern?

Establish a bedtime routine that promotes relaxation and better sleep. You can try incorporating activities such as reading a book, taking a warm bath, or practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation before bed. Additionally, you may benefit from speaking with a therapist or counselor to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this habit. In some cases, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be helpful in changing behaviors and thought patterns.

Duonase nasal spray contains fluticasone and azelastine. Fluticasone is a corticosteroid, which can be immunosuppressive at high doses or prolonged use. However, the immunosuppressive effects of fluticasone are typically associated with systemic use, not topical nasal sprays. Using Duonase nasal spray for 5 months as directed is unlikely to significantly suppress the immune system or prevent HIV antibody production. It's essential to consult an HIV specialist or a healthcare professional for personalized advice on HIV testing and treatment. Please consult the product label or manufacturer's guidelines for specific information on Duonase nasal spray.
