I have two things to tell you. First of all, as all of the other people have said here, playing with yourself will not cause you to experience any of these symptoms. You may feel guilt, and you may get the occasional bladder infection. But beyond that, no -- masturbation will not hurt you, physically.
My second point is important: You must talk to your parents or a trusted caregiver about the symptoms you are experiencing. While they are definitely not caused by masturbation, they are also definitely not normal. If you are weak, having back pain, losing your hair, having trouble concentrating and so on, you may be seriously ill. Please go see a doctor for a checkup. You don't even need to tell your parent/doctor/anyone that you masturbate, I promise. Just describe your symptoms, and they'll know what to do.

First, masturbating has no negative physical effects on the body other than very localized ones (for example, soreness of the penis if done two vigorously or too frequently over the course of a day or desensitization through bouts of prolonged daily frequent masturbation).
The religious community has demonized masturbation and has used a lot of bs scare tactics to justify their prohibition of it.
adviceman49 answered Sunday December 9 2012, 10:01 am: I'm old enough to be your grandfather and I have never heard of anything like what you written about masturbation. Masturbating twice a day is perfectly normalfor someone your age. Masturbating in general is normal for any male or female and is an excellent method to relieve sexual tension.
According to a recent study done by researchers published in a magazine I read. According to the research done 85% of the population masturbate. This would include your parents and other relatives. Masturbation is also part of foreplay during sex. Hand-jobs and fingering as well as oral sex are all forms of masturbation, though in this instance they would be called mutual masturbation.
What you are reading or have written about as being caused by masturbation are generally referred to as; "Old wives Tales." These tales came to be during a time when masturbation and sexual pleasure in general was looked at as being dirty. Sex was strictly for procreation.
Over the years since then for most of us, our attitude towards sex and masturbation has changed. Sex, intercourse, is something that is done both for pleasure and procreation between two consenting adults. Masturbation is for sexual relief and the pleasure that this relief brings even when done as a mutual pleasure.
So in closing, whoever told you that your health problems are a direct result of your masturbating is very, very wrong. Masturbating twice a day is well with in the norm for someone you age and you should look forward to having a normal sex life, health permitting, when you find the right person to share a sex life with.

rainhorse68 answered Sunday December 9 2012, 1:16 am: Hi there. Definitely listen to Razhie, masturbation cannot damage your physical or mental health. Step back, don't brainwash yourself with crackpot website diagnoses. Poor focus, concentration and short-term memory losses are pretty certain signs of stress. And you've definitely raised your stress levels with anxiety. These are definitely reversible, in fact they stop when your stress levels return to what's normal for you. Sort your head out first. And like the lady said, if you're left with any niggling physical problems go and see the doctor. They're not caused by masturbating. You might lay-off a bit at night if it's interfering with your sleep, but that's about it. No need to vow to never do it again, never have sex etc. [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]

Masturbation doesn't cause mental illness or physical illness. Period. Anyone who tells you otherwise is lying to you because they believe that masturbation is morally wrong. There is nothing, nothing at all bad that happens to your body when you masturbate (except maybe, some chaffing if you are too rough with yourself.)
So there if there is something wrong with you, you need to see a doctor, because it has nothing at all to do with masturbation.
Please, go see a doctor. Even if you believe masturbation is wrong, it's still not what is causing your problems. See a doctor. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
