I've been dealing with some health issues lately and I'm really worried. I've been masturbating for 56 years, but now I feel super weak, and it feels like things get worse whenever I do it. I'm experiencing weakness, hair fall, joint pains, and sometimes I feel so weak that I can't even lift anything or walk properly. I've tried ayurvedic treatments and seen many general physicians, but nothing seems to help. They all say it's not because of masturbation, but I can't help but notice my symptoms worsen afterwards. I've had tests like uric acid, vitamin D, calcium, and vitamin B12 done, and everything came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next.

take protein rich food and avoid to much masturbation
