Erection: Well, not sure how frequently you masturbate, but it's been shown that very frequent masturbation can cause semen leakage and erection troubles. I am not diagnosing you with anything in particular, but you will need to have an evaluation with a specialist or at least a primary care doc.

Masturbation: Masturbation is a normal and natural part of the human experience. Every man you know masturbates or has masturbated. There is no health concerns or consequences to masturbation.
Now, erection troubles are usually about fatigue, stress, worry, self esteem. An erection is more than 50% about your brain and not the penis itself.
Give yourself time and less worry and it should be fine.
