Masturbation Addiction Can Be a Real Pain in the Back

A 21 year old male who masturbates frequently is suffering from fatigue and back pain.

Case #: 525

Concern：

I have been masturbating for a long time, since I was at least 12 or 13. I’m 21 now and I am starting to experience some disturbing symptoms. I am tired all the time and have a lot of pain in my lower back. I am otherwise healthy and am afraid that these symptoms could be related to masturbation. What can I do to feel better?

Discussion：

When you are young and just starting to experiment with your body, it can be easy to lose control and find yourself masturbating all the time. It feels good, so of course you want to do it as much as you can.

As most of us grow older, other things get in the way of masturbation and most of us start to do it less often. Excessive masturbation can lead to a number of health problems, including fatigue and back pain.

How Back Pain Stems From Masturbation

Most of us get pleasure from masturbation, so it can be hard to relate back pain to something that feels so good. When men masturbate or have sex, there are hormones and chemical reactions taking place all over the body.

Your adrenal glands release most of these hormones. If you are excessively masturbating, you adrenal glands are constantly releasing hormones and working in overdrive. Over time, your adrenal glands begin to get tired and stop working.

The hormones that they release, DHEA, DHT and testosterone, become depleted in your body, resulting in back pain. Other symptoms can include testicular pain, impotence and reduced libido.

Can Masturbation Make You Sleepy

Sex and masturbation are two things that men want to stay awake for. You mentioned that you have been feeling tired lately. Did you ever think that the reason you are so tired is because you are using so much of your energy for masturbation?

Masturbation is perfectly normal, but must be done in moderation. Mitochondrial fatigue is a common problem for adults who masturbate often. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in your body. When you masturbate excessively, it causes these little organisms to work harder than normal and die out faster. This can lead to symptoms that include chronic fatigue, mood swings and an overall feeling of being unhealthy.

The Road to Recovery

Being tired and suffering from back pain can be very frustrating, I have suffered from similar symptoms myself. The best thing you can do to recover is to let your body rest and rejuvenate. Avoid masturbation and sex for several weeks until your symptoms start to subside. I understand it can be hard to go from masturbating several times a week to not masturbating at all, but you have to do it if you want to feel better.

While you are resting, your hormone levels will return to normal and new, healthy mitochondria will be produced by your body, giving you some much needed energy. You should take some herbal supplements to help speed up this process so you will feel better faster (Remedy: Herbal Treatment For Chronic & Adrenal Fatigue).

Once you are feeling better, avoid masturbating every day. You should not ejaculate more than 3 to 4 times a week, including during sex. This will help keep your body from becoming exhausted and keep your sexual organs functioning properly.
