Masturbation Addiction

Masturbation Addiction refers to the compulsive or uncontrollable urge to engage in masturbation, which may lead to emotional distress, interfere with daily life, or affect relationships. While masturbation is a natural part of human sexuality, excessive or obsessive behavior can signal an underlying psychological issue.

A psychiatrist specializing in sexual health helps individuals understand the emotional and mental health factors contributing to compulsive behavior and provides effective treatments to regain control and improve well-being.

• Stress, anxiety, or depression
• Past trauma or unresolved emotional pain
• Loneliness or social isolation
• Impulse control disorders
• Low self-esteem or body image issues

Common Symptoms:

• Neglecting daily responsibilities, work, or relationships due to compulsive behavior

• Use of masturbation as a way to cope with emotional pain or stress
