Control Masturbation Addiction
Don’t aim to “stop overnight” - reduce frequency slowly (e.g., if daily -every 2–3 days -once a week).
Identify triggers – boredom, loneliness, phone/internet. Limit porn, reduce alone time, and keep yourself busy.
Replace habit – When the urge comes go for a walk, exercise, cold shower, call a friend, or do push-ups.
Counseling/therapy – If you can, talk to a psychologist/sex therapist. Compulsive sexual behavior is treatable.
You should take counselling from professional psychiatrist not online

Hi Sayan. I see 2 discrete problems here. One is excessive masturbation and other is weakness and fatigue. Let’s talk about excessive masturbation first. Currently, it is conceptualized as Compulsive sexual behavior disorder and how the addiction occurs is similar to other addictions like alcohol, drugs, and gaming. In any addictive disorder, withdrawal symptoms like increasing anxiety, increasing urge or craving to involve in those behaviors lead you to engage repeatedly and worsens the cycle of addictive behaviors. What you can do is trying to distract yourself whenever you are having high urges to masturbate until that urge passes off, or you can try moving to public space or to hall in your home where you cannot do masturbation and staying there until the urge passes off, trying deep breathing exercises to handle urges and adapt newer hobbies. Most of the times, these techniques will help in gradually reducing masturbation frequency. Now coming to weakness, I suggest you to do some tests like CBC, TFT, Vitamin B12 and D3 to rule out anemia, thyroid issues and vitamin deficiencies. Let me know if you have any other doubts. Regards.
Excessive masturbation itself usually doesn’t cause severe weakness, but poor diet, dehydration, stress, and possible vitamin deficiencies can make you feel tired, dizzy, and underweight. To regain strength, focus on proper nutrition, hydration, exercise, and reducing screen time while gradually cutting down on the habit instead of stopping abruptly. Please consult a Psychiatrist for addiction counseling and a General Physician for blood tests to check for anemia, vitamin deficiencies, or other health issues.

First off, what you’re describing may involve a number of interconnected issues. Extreme masturbation itself isn’t necessarily directly linked to significant physical weakness, but overdoing it to the point of neglecting other aspects of health can have consequences. Your low body weight and feelings of weakness or dizziness can result from several possible factors, such as inadequate nutrition or hydration, potential anemia, or underlying medical conditions. At 19 and 5.5 feet tall, a weight of 40 kg is quite low, and it’s possible that nutritional deficits are contributing to your fatigue and dizziness. Diet plays a significant role in providing energy, so prioritizing nutritious meals is essential. Focus on incorporating more whole foods, including fruits, vegetables, proteins, and whole grains. Gradually wean off fast foods and spicy cravings by substituting with healthier options that still satisfy your taste. Hydration is also key, try to drink more water consistently throughout the day.
In terms of managing the frequency of masturbation, it can be helpful to establish a balanced routine. Identify your triggers and consider finding healthier outlets or hobbies to keep occupied. If you feel that your urge to masturbate is interfering with daily life, seeking therapy, especially cognitive-behavioral therapy, might benefit you. Your healthcare provider can help investigate whether additional physical factors or psychological patterns are involved. Furthermore, given your symptoms, I strongly recommend visiting a healthcare professional to rule out any specific medical conditions or deficiencies that might require treatment. They might run a health check-up, including blood tests, to get a clearer picture of what might be going on beneath the surface and provide a structure for recovery.
