In Ayurveda, this disease is known as Hastmaithun, in Unani as Jalq, and in English (Allopathy) as Onanism and Masturbation. Although masturbation is not technically a disease, it is a very disgusting and bad habit in which a man extracts his semen by rubbing his hands or thighs, or with the help of soft cloths, sponges, leather or rubber bags, or by rubbing against a pillow.
Additionally, sufferers of this bad and disgusting act often adopt many other unnatural and abnormal methods to fulfil this act, which leads to the destruction of semen and the degeneration of their bodies.
It is believed that an African resident named Ana and an Arab named Umeera were the first individuals who laid the foundation of this despicable act. Therefore, this bad habit was named Onanism after them.
It should also be specially noted that this vile act is not committed only by some men but also by some women. (In women, this act is referred to as “Chapti Karna“).
Not only humans but even animals fall prey to this bad habit, losing their vital semen through it. Monkeys, dogs, bears, and horses have also been observed performing this act.
Millions of people in our country are afflicted by this shameful act, which is a matter of great regret. The primary reason for such habits and other sexual disorders is the lack of proper sex education in our country, because even many intellectuals consider talking about this subject a grave sin and a disgraceful act.
It is hoped that in the future, our nation’s intellectuals, scientists, capable doctors, popular leaders, and our beloved democratic government will surely pay attention to this matter in the nation’s interest.
The main causes of this demon-like disease are listed below:
Living in isolation, excessive sexual desire, bad (dirty) thoughts, watching nude pictures and blue films, bad company, being in contact with lustful women, etc., because a person, driven by the urge to fulfil his sexual desires, becomes a victim of this disgusting habit.
Other causes include worms in the stomach, bladder stones, the foreskin of the penis being long and narrow, accumulation of dirt under the foreskin, etc, which cause irritation and tickling in the genital organ, leading to the habit of masturbation.
Sometimes, boys from wealthy families fall into this bad habit because of the negligence of nannies (nurses), as many ignorant nannies, in an attempt to make the child sleep at night, stimulate the child’s genitalia.
Thus, this habit transforms into a bad addiction during youth.
The fulfillment of this disgusting act results in increased premature sexual desires, nightfall (wet dreams), spermatorrhea, premature ejaculation, impotence, shrinking, bending, and weakening of the penis, and other such disorders which the sufferer receives as “gifts” of masturbation.
When the body cannot remove this blockage, the accumulated toxin starts causing inflammation, swelling, and other disease symptoms. When this toxin mixes into the blood, it becomes more dangerous. Gradually it forms into solid, granular deposits — medically known as uric acid or urate crystals.
The symptoms of this disease are listed below:
A hopeless life, lack of courage, depression, hatred towards one’s profession, desire for isolation, irritable temperament, cowardly nature, dark circles around the eyes, constipation, rapid heartbeat, anaemia (lack of blood), digestive disorders, chronic cold, memory loss, and nervous weakness. Organs such as the heart, brain, liver, lungs, intestines, and bladder also become weak.
Due to shame and guilt, the patient usually becomes unable to maintain eye contact while talking to others.
While urinating, the patient feels a slight burning and a pleasurable tickling sensation. The patient feels as if ants are crawling and biting on his spinal cord or sometimes all over his body. Cold sweats appear, there is a constant complaint of back pain, and there is a burning sensation in the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Concentration weakens, vision becomes poor, the face turns pale, and the cheeks sink in during youth itself, making the person look old. Severe damage occurs to the penis, the root becomes weak and thin, it becomes flaccid and shorter than normal, and veins swell.
Its sensory nerves become overly sensitive, and ultimately, the patient becomes impotent. If this disease is not properly treated, the patient becomes afflicted with terrible diseases and dies prematurely — that is, death occurs. Other causes include worms in the stomach, bladder stones, the foreskin of the penis being long and narrow, accumulation of dirt under the foreskin, etc, which cause irritation and tickling in the genital organ, leading to the habit of masturbation.
Sometimes, boys from wealthy families fall into this bad habit because of the negligence of nannies (nurses), as many ignorant nannies, in an attempt to make the child sleep at night, stimulate the child’s genitalia. Thus, this habit transforms into a bad addiction during youth.
