Dear Doctor,
Thank you very much for providing answers to my mind-boggling questions on pile, masturbation and premature ejeculation, which l asked a while ago. My question now is how long (in terms of months or weeks) will it take for things to get back to normal?  I mean, after desisting from the habit. Thank you.

Recovery from such psychological and long standing problems will depend on many factors.  These include the extent of the ailment, your ability to recover quickly from such problem.  Also important is the kind of support you have, especially from your spouse.  As stated in my write-up, such problems are easier to manage if you are in a warm and steady relationship.
