Vignesh t In this age commonly adults face this issue. Try to notice if you do it more when you’re bored, stressed, or scrolling certain content.
b. Replace the habit:Exercise,especially cardio & strength training.
Hobbies or skills that keep your hands and mind busy
Increase Social interactions.
c. Gradual reduction plan:
In Week 1-Reduce to once daily
Week 2: Every other day
Week 3+: Limit to 1–2 times per week or less
*Reduce porn use — it’s one of the biggest causes of erectile desensitization
Keep phone/laptop out of bed
Go to bed tired from physical activity
For Improving Erections Naturally try doing Pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) → strengthens erection muscles
Jelqing & stretching (done correctly, without overpressure) → may improve blood flow
Start Healthy lifestyle → Quit smoking/alcohol Eat foods that support testosterone (eggs, nuts, pumpkin seeds, spinach)
*Sleep 7–8 hrs daily
Maintain healthy weight
Yes mam, I’ve been masturbating for eight years, and for the past year, I’ve been doing it both morning and night to help with sleep. Recently, I’ve noticed issues with achieving a full erection and a reduction in penis size. I’m wondering if I should consider taking L-arginine tablets. Please help me mam. How can I connect with you
L-arginine can help with erection quality by improving blood flow, but it’s not a magic pill — best results come when combined with:
Regular exercise (especially cardio)
Pelvic floor strengthening (Kegels)
Good sleep & low stress
Healthy testosterone levels
I prefer you taking- Chyawanprash – 1–2 tsp daily Ashwagandha tab/ churna- 1spoon with milk Bramhi tab- 2-0-2
Regarding difficulties with erections and concerns about penile size, an Ayurvedic perspective can be quite enlightening. Let’s dive straight in. Masturbation in moderation is a natural practice, but doing it twice a day may lead to depletion of vital energy (ojas), which is believed to impact vitality, strength and stamina. This could potentially lead to erection difficulties.
To manage and reduce the habit of excessive masturbation, focus on incorporating Brahmacharya, a lifestyle that emphasizes preserving personal energy. Engage yourself in physical exercises like yoga, especially poses such as Vajrasana and Sarvangasana that promote balance and vitality, and pranayama to enhance your mental resilience. Daily meditation can also help in cultivating self-control and redirecting your focus toward other fulfilling activities.
Increasing penile size naturally is more challenging and largely dictated by genetics. However, strengthening the reproductive tissues can potentially aid erectile function. An aphrodisiac herb like Ashwagandha is recommended, as it enhances vitality and supports reproductive health. Consume it in powdered form, mixed with warm milk, during the evening.
Diet plays a pivotal role; consuming nourishing foods like almonds, dates, figs, and milk can enhance reproductive tissue (shukra dhatu). Include spices like saffron and black pepper which are enhancing for male vigor. Additionally, it’s wise to avoid excessively hot, spicy, or stimulating foods, as they may lead to disturbance in your body’s balance (aggravating Pitta dosha).
Sleep well, maintain discipline in bedtimes as excessive exposure to stimulating content can exacerbate the issue, both mentally and physiologically. Daily oil massage (Abhyanga) can also be beneficial for grounding.
Lastly, though these approaches are based on holistic principles and tradition, if the symptom persist or increases, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional or a specialist for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized guidance.
Masturbation in itself doesn’t directly lead to issues with erection nor reduce the size of the penis, but frequent masturbation may contribute to temporary issues due to desensitization or altered expectations of stimulation. Addressing your challenge involves both abstaining from excessive habit and supporting your body’s natural balance.
Firstly, reducing the frequency of masturbation can help restore natural vitality. You could set a gradual schedule to cut down, aiming to reduce to once every few days initially, then further as comfortable.
In the context of Ayurveda, we often relate erectile difficulties and perceived size issues to imbalances in vata and pitta doshas along with impaired agni or digestive fire. Supporting agni can be helpful, so focus on consuming warm, unctuous foods and incorporating spices like ginger and cumin. These aid digestion and improve circulatory health.
Recommended herbs include Ashwagandha and Shatavari. Ashwagandha supports vigor and balances vata-pitta, while Shatavari nourishes the dhatus. You can take 1 teaspoon of Ashwagandha churna with milk, morning and evening, and similarly with Shatavari.
For penile health, sesame oil massage is beneficial. Warm the oil slightly and gently massage the penis, paying attention to not applying excessive pressure, which can be counterproductive.
Seek mental and physical relaxation through yoga and pranayama, particularly focusing on asanas like Vajrasana and Baddha Konasana which improve pelvic circulation.
If you experience persistent symptoms or psychological distress, consulting an Ayurvedic practitioner or modern medical professional is important for a personalized approach.
