Hi,
I notice that the past few years i have masturbated more probably to everyday and have notice symptoms of adrenal fatigue and under active thyroid but when i stop masturbating for a few days or a week i feel better but not fully recovered.Can too much masturbation cause adrenal and thyroid problems? Before i started masturbating a lot i was basically in the best shape of my life, but now i notice a little deterioration of my muscles and i feel stressed and weak.I know i have masturbated a lot over the past 5 years and its not going to get better in a week but can you please give me idea of how long will it take for a full recovery?
ANSWER
Hello,
Yes, and not only thyroid and adrenal functioning abnormalities – over masturbation can lead to severe nervous and endocrine functioning alterations. The stress and muscle deterioration are to be expected as a result of excessive stress and inflammatory response for increased norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol, histamine, and prostaglandin E2 levels.
“can you please give me idea of how long will it take for a full recovery?”
It depends. It is important that the underlying problem is properly addressed. There are also numerous factors that contribute to the recovery process, such as: the degree of exhaustion, gene expressions, the neuroplasticity developed through the years, and lifestyle.
However, for the specific case, regular exercise, proper diet, massages, negative ion exposure, and sexual abstinence for 2 to 4 weeks may speed up the recovery so positive alterations should be observed in 2 to 4 months.
