Masturbation causes 5 things. Physically it reduces the volume of the ejaculate and eventually the sperm count on a temporary basis.

Dear Dr, If one masturbates oneself everyday what can it cause? Please help me answer by email. You can publish, but do not use my name. I also have a second question – suppose one releases quick during sex – what does it mean?

Thank you
Dear Larryman,
Masturbation causes 5 things. Physically it reduces the volume of the ejaculate and eventually the sperm count on a temporary basis. Not so good for the infertile don’t you think? Psychologically, psychiatrists will tell you that there is a compulsive (junior brother to addiction) component to masturbation the practitioner simply gets so engrossed in it he cannot really stop himself or control himself anymore. He is driven compelled; even forced to do it even when his interests are not best served by masturbation. That is why at times married masturbators leave their spouses and still go about masturbating – after marriage! That’s a third complication – both physical and emotional – of masturbation.
A fourth complication is the feeling of low self worth or esteem the masturbator suffers.

The excitement and anticipation is there before the act. After the act, instead of fulfilment, achievement and satisfaction there is worthlessness, a feeling of depression and sadness, the distinct feeling of being used, guilt, unhappiness and indignity.
Number five – those of us who understand the spiritual know that this is true – there is spiritual contamination by spirit spouses – incubi and succubi.
Now if we want to dispute this last part and deny them, no problem. The remaining scientifically proven other side effects are not good for anyone I believe. And I trust everyone without exception will agree with me.
Releasing quick – faster than you or the woman want or need to – during sex is caused by either ordinary psychological over – excitement or inexperience(the primary type) or by disease (the secondary type) in the man. The first type has always been the experience of the man – right from his first day of sex. The other type just began recently and is due to disease; usually chronic prostatitis. You’ll need to see a good doctor to find the cause so as to apply appropriate cure. Whether first or second category, you will need proper medical evaluation so as to be treated properly and permanently. Call the help lines.

I can’t find my menses!!
Hello Dr.
I have a problem that is already giving me nightmares. Since November last year I have been experiencing menstrual cessation of which I do not know the cause.
Normally I do menstruate for five days until last year November when this problem started. I was waiting for it thinking it will come out because I do experience irregular period so after December it dawned on me that I might be having a problem so I ran to a Pharmacist friend and explained to her. She prescribed two menstrogen injections and folic acid. After the injection one week later my period came out with the normal flow of five days. (During this time I never made love with any man so I was not suspecting any pregnancy). After that I saw my period around January 22. Since that time I have not seen it. I do not know why my period should be ceasing at intervals. Doctor I want to know the cause of this – whether it’s hormonal imbalance? Because that was what my pharmacist friend suggested and what do I do? I await your response. (Please reply me through my mailbox not in The Sun Publishing Newspaper)

Dear FJG,
Well, well well…
Let’s tackle this together, shall we? Okay, what’s the major reason a woman will not see her periods? Easy – everyone knows the answer to that – if and when she is pregnant; isn’t it? Okay? But you said you had no sex. Well, I’ve learnt to take that with a grain of salt – I never believe women who say they did not have sex. Why? Oh, because – sex is not only when you are penetrated. Too many ladies have had groovy times – genital contact of all sorts and still come and tell you they are virgins – meaning they have not allowed penetration in full – many times a little penetration occurred too -that is if you probe very well – so; always the first place to start is to prove she is not pregnant and just sending you (the doctor) on a wild goose chase. Apart from real pregnancy, there is dead pregnancy – missed abortion – in which the woman has been pregnant in the recent past but the baby had died in her womb but being unknown to her. Only a scan can detect a missed abortion – as we call this condition – or a missed miscarriage. The remedy, after finding out is to do a D&C and the lady will soon resume her normal periods. Following right after that is what we call Asherman’s Syndrome – the lady had a past D&C and the D&C doctor had been too over enthusiastic in scraping her womb for the D&C; now there is no more uterine lining to shed!!!. That’s number three. Number four is the use of any contraceptive pill; or even of the injectable known as Depoprovera to stop pregnancy. The after-sex pill, Postinor can also cause this. Here, the remedy is to stop the use of these agents and wait for the menses to return to regularity. Number five, is Stress – too much trouble/challenges from every and any source. Let me give some common causes of stress. Some loved one or the other is sick; you have exams; you are an athlete and you have to practice strenuously; you’ve been jilted or are about to be; you are sick – TB; PID; Anemia and so on. All these are causes of stress or challenges. Number 6 is next – and I want you to listen very well – do you have milk coming from your breasts? If so, you could have the Galactorrhhea – Amenorrhea Syndrome – from pituitary or brain level problems which, fortunately can be easily remedied today by modern medications; Seven is the tampering with the adrenal glands that some people do by self-medicating with steroid drugs such as Dexacortin which will cause Cushing’s disease, and which we have fully treated in this column before; Eight is – again listen for this is a bit common too – do you have pimples? Are you fat/really big; do you have some facial and excess chest/ abdominal hair rather like a man? It may well be this is the cause of your problem. The condition called Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome makes ladies – just like any other cause of scanty menses to be – infertile or at best sub fertile. Weight loss that leaves the woman skin and bones will cause her to miss her periods also. That’s nine. Ten? Malabsorption or celiac disease will do the same because it will cause anemia first. If a woman has goitre – high thyroid hormones or less (atimes), she can also miss her period. For further help, call the help lines.
