You must repent sincerely and seek Allah's forgiveness, lower your gaze from what Allah has forbidden, and fortify yourself with marriage if possible. Otherwise, you must fast frequently. Know that masturbation is forbidden, and you must stop it and make up for the prayers you missed while in a state of major ritual impurity (). If you become ritually impure, you must perform (ritual bath) with warm water in a warm place to avoid harm.
