Question
I'm male 24. Recently I had an accident & got a brain injury (internal) doc suggested me to get an MRI & EEG done. BUT, sadly, I've also been a victim of prolonged excessive masturbation resulting in various disorders inside my brain including weakness, memory loss, serious concentration problem, I feel lot of things of drained out of the brain.

I'm worried if these changes get noticed in the MRI EEG, I'll be in trouble socially when everybody gets to kow about it. Plz tell me if MRI & EEG would be reflecting those aspects as wel. I mean if yes, then docs will surely report this to my faculties, and I'll be caught in a shameful fix.

Plz help
Thanks
Abhishek

Answer
First of all masturbation is NOT dangerous in any way and NOT a threat to your health! Second, no signs of your masturbation habits will be noticed in your MRI brain scan or in your EEG - not even when they are done together! So you do not need to worry about that. Third the MRI & EEG examinations are NECESSARY in order to evaluate any brain injury. So they MUST be done! Have them done soonest! Good luck!
