Answer
It sounds like your suffering from jing deficiency among other issues. It sounds like kidney qi def. Your really are to young to be very yang def. I can not diagnose you over the Internet.  The diagnosis process is lengthy and hands on. I need to see your tongue and take your pulse etc.  I would say stop masturbating if it is possible.  This is probably how you lost your jing.  I would say go back to your Chinese doctor. Yin def usually shows up with more heat signs.  Yang def is more cold signs. You probably would benefit some some tonics.

Good luck,
