Masturbation is quite normal and never would cause the problems you described, unless you masturbated too often. Even then, once you stopped masturbating, your erections would return. It appears to me that the problem might be your anxiety. That is, you might be worrying about all of this too much. If you have not masturbated in one month and are still having these problems, you should talk to a doctor, but you should also try to relax and not worry. You have not hurt yourself with your masturabation and you will be able to overcome this and have a happy sex life.
