Chronic Pain/Illness?

PMO addiction brings a lot of negative things.
For me they are:
-fatigue
- the stress
- depression
- anxiety
-sleeping difficulties
+ many others

 

Yes od course it can, if you masturbate often your body is most focused on creating new sperm that healing other people things and it also damage your brain

 

this is my list

1. Losing eyesight. I used to wear glasses but lost more vision after PMO till I did laser operations few years ago. Now I believe I am starting t lose again

2. Short Height. I was doing fine till I embraced PMO monster. I have caused a huge imbalance to my hormones. All my friends and family members are taller than me and I am just 160cm.

3. Kidney stones. I have ruined my kidneys for sure. I have 4 operations of kidney stones in last 2 years and 6 overall in life cause of heavy PMO. I have experimented on some days with PMO o know for a fact that PMO is the leading cause. Kidney issues can trigger all sort of other issues in body.

4. I triggered purpura (viral disease which I believe was wrong diagnosis, I was just deficient in calcium and phosphorus) after 2 years of started PMO. My veins in stomach and legs were bleeding I could see blood spots from under the skin. I suffered three years with it but once I took phosphorus and calcium and stopped PMO a bit, it went away like a ghost.

5. I have triggered psoriasis (autoimmune issue, which I know for sure is cause of my stomach lining has become extremely thin cause of PMO and losing essential fluids every day. Purpura was also something similar)


6. Hair Loss. Those who say it is not linked are completely wrong. I have seen ruining my hair over the years.

7. Hyper pigmentation. My skin has developed dark patches at many spots and my face is also turning black. Nobody knows why I am having more melanin production but I know its PMO (not an illusion, I know how melanin increases on days when I do it heavily)


8. Extreme pores on face and acne issue. I have them all the time, didn’t used to have it much even around puberty but after two decades of PMO, I look dreadful)

9. Deformed bone structure. I have deformed shoulder shape and neck shape cause of all the bad positions I have been using to masturbate. I always lean on my left elbow for that and that spot has turned very dark and nothing on the right elbow. I stay in that position even after my legs and body start feeling pain. I have gained around 25kg in 3 years and my little efforts of weight loss are failing miserably. I look like a fat deformed pig with weird back and neck shape, all thanks to my PMO habits in bed. I have developed several lipomas over the last decade and have been checked for cancer. I know that chemical imbalance I have created in my body is showing its symptoms through such things.

10. Frequent urination. Also distress in path between left kidney and urethra. Did ultrasound couple of times but nothing there. Feels little bit better if I do not do PMO for couple of days (which is rare).

11. Extreme heart burn and acid reflex. I woke up many times choking on food during nights. Doctors have told me it is linked with stress and I know what causes stress and imbalance of chemicals inside my body- PMO

12. Fatigue and body shivers. My body is constantly in pain cause of stress, chemical loss due to PMO, lack of normal life movements and autoimmune problems. Normal pain killers do not work for me anymore (I do not try them regular, only when fatigue or pain goes out of control). I have to take steroid medicine to get rid of extreme fatigue, which basically just suppress my immune system so that I do not temporarily feel pain and fatigue.

13. Brain fog has reached extreme level. From being a bright student to almost 100% numb, on some days I would stare at one line of coding for hours, not knowing what to do next. I have been fired from previous job cause I was unable to perform at all and I had to take emergency sick leaves many times. I still landed in a similar position but again I did not give up PMO and I am still performing extremely bad.

14. Breathing issue. Tissues inside my nose have swollen (and so are other things inside my body e.g. tonsils). I had an operation but they grew back within one year and I cannot breathe properly at night. I snore so loud that I have to sleep in a separate room alone. I know for sure my chemical imbalance and nutrients deficiency is linked to it.

15. Social anxiety. I try to show off in front of others that I am a confident person but I know I am not anymore. I see other people doing lot of activities in in their life and I try to avoid everything, just because I do not want to do anything anymore. Nothing seems to make sense and I would rather waste time in PMO than spending it with others.

16. Chest Congestion. This is a recent development and although I am not extremely fat ( I am around 83kg, 160cm), I have started to have pain around my chest. I perform badly if I play any sport. All the amateur friends would perform better by default even if they are at same level at mine. Sometimes they make fun of my looks and shape but not in a bully way, perhaps they feel pity for me because they know me since teen age and they know how I used to look normal person and now what I have turned into. They often question me what’s going on and I just tell them these are unknown medical reasons.

17. Pins and needles feeling. If i start running even a bit or try to lift any heavy object, i have extreme pins and needles sensations all over head, full back and shoulders. I have asked multiple doctors but no one knows exactly how to treat. Some say it might mean lack of some vitamin, some say its a good sign of neurons opening up. What I know it that it is not a good thing as I am suffering from it since 6 years. It is extremely irritating feeling and perhaps my bad postures and excessive laying down in bed during PMO has made lot of veins numb and also I perhaps lack essential nutrients

I might have forgotten somethings in the above list but this is the overall life right now.

 

I have experienced literally every single symptom you listed on daily basis except drymouth and burning skin, in my case I sometimes get some sharp pains but not burning skin you said, also for ibs symptoms I only gotten bowel issues and sometimes stomach pain from those issues, but every other issue you listed I have them all too! I started masturbating last year when I was 16 and now I'm 17 with all those issues you listed, I never had ANY of these issues before I started masturbating so I know 100% its caused by masturbation for me also these issues start healing if I abstain from masturbation. The only cure for this I think is to abstain from masturbation and never do it again, realize it only brings you pain and suffering.

How long have you been PMO free and does it get better for you if you abstain?

 

For the rib pain I don't always feel it but it happened to me many times after pmo that I would have a very sharp rib pain and difficulty breathing, now when it comes to breathing ever since I started pmo I had more difficulty breathing and sometimes even felt like I am going to pass out. Ever since I started pmo I constantly felt like an ill person and I never felt this way before in my entire life I can safely say this is my worst period in my life as of yet, my symptoms from masturbation in the beginning weren't so bad but as months passed they worsened and now this September they were the worst ones I have had yet so I am finally gonna put and end to this since living like this is pure suffering. My best streak was only 4 days which is not alot... If I abstain for a day or two I don't feel fully recovered but I do feel around 20-30 percent better, and if I relapse I feel even worse than before and all of my symptoms worsen. Good luck man I hope you beat this sickness,masturbation brings nothing good only pain and suffering I think we need to stop making excuses for why we do it and just stop doing it.

 

I would definitely consider reading (pages 20-30 in the attached PDF) the attached study guide. It was excerpted from a book from
Manhood Perfectly Restored by Prof. Jean Civile. The book is from the late 1800s, but the pages that I noted above, are alarmingly very similar and relevant to the effects of excessive and repetitive PMO. They say insanity is "doing the same thing over and over, but expecting different results. Well, this book actually goes into actual cases of insanity (remember, the late 1800s) caused by PMO, so if that doesn't grab your attention... (LOL!)

Now, just a heads-up, this book was written back in the day, so I do not advise any "cures" that are suggested. I am not a doctor either, but these symptoms are strikingly similar to a huge majority of posts in this thread.

I for one certainly do not discount literature, especially when the content is eerily relatable to the times we live in. Almost like a time machine...?

Best of luck!

 

Not permanent or severe issues from PMO, no. I am generally and fortunately of good overall health.

However, after constant and excessive PMO, I did find myself with lower back pain, upper chest and lower abdomen muscle strain, frequent migraines in the daytime, eye strain (the result of staring at a screen for hours at night), shoulder pains, and digestive issues (heartburn, constipation, etc). I was PMOing excessively on and off for around 4 years before I finally correlated my PMO habit to my symptoms (bold font). I was able to make that correlation, because I kept a journal of symptoms, and watched them disappear after abstaining from PMO ("taking breaks" from porn). I also did become largely depressed (not clinically diagnosed, but it was quite obvious to me) in a recent couple of years. But then again, my life (and everyone else's life, I suppose from COVID-19) was (and is) a rocky road during those years, and I found myself isolated among other factors. I strongly believe porn was a huge huge HUGE factor, but not the only one regarding the depression I felt (and sometimes feel, but I am better today than I was one year ago).

Anyways, I am fortunate enough to say that I haven't had any inclement health issues arise, but I know it's certainly possible with other people (and perhaps I could develop health issues myself if I continued my habit). When I read that article, I also speculated that PMOing had caused other problems that I had faced. I remember one time, passing out after "standing up too fast". I became extremely dizzy and light-headed. I eventually put 2 and 2 together and realized I "wacked it" for 5 hours prior to passing out (at the time I blamed it on other things, such as "standing up too fast" [maybe a form of "self-denial" at that time]).

So generally speaking, no I haven't developed health issues, but I have had my fair share of wearing down my body physically and mentally from porn use/excessive masturbation. So that is my answer to your question. And I also found it super fascinating that they had that knowledge back then. It is still relevant today!

 

Nop. Struggling a lot in getting a big streak. But overall fatigue gets a bit reduced and bloating painful belly feels a bit of relief after 3 days. But the overall relief is minute..really need to do a big streak to feel big difference.
