Does masturbation affects brain functioning?
Patient: hello doctor i am 18 yr old and my height is 5.5 feet and weigh 75 kg. i masturbate 4 times a week and often get headaches after dat. i want to know wheather masturbation reduces brain efficiency or IQ in any way ???? and secondly wheather it stops the body from growing like effecting height Doctor: Hi,  There is no scientific evidence to say that masturbation causes 'all those' problems you mentioned in the question. What you are describing is probably orgasm headache which is usually benign (not dangerous one). There is no specific treatment except symptomatic, like paracetamol. If it is really troublesome there are some medications which can be better taken after consultation with a neurologist. My suggestions to you: - Get your blood pressure checked once - Take at least 2 litres of fluid intake daily to improve your general well being - Avoid fast and junk foods, excess sugars, salt - Consume good amount of fruits and vegetables - Do regular exercise at least 30 minutes dailyTake care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Mohammed Ashraf, Internal Medicine Specialist
