I can understand the distress you are through. Masturbation can be addictive. However, like any other substance or drug, masturbation does not have any physical harmful effects on body. It is a very common myth that masturbation causes weakness, eye problem, hair loss, etc, it is all false. Masturbation can become a compulsion. In such cases it gets difficult to control it, and stop masturbating. Very often poor concentration, irritability, restlessness happen due to not masturbating. These are the psychological withdrawal symptoms.
It is important to know that I must be treated like any other addiction problem. An expert must be consulted.
Next Steps
You must consult with Psychiatrist as he can help you with techniques to deal with the withdrawal symptoms.
Health Tips
It is treatable. Don't worry.
