Yes, persons with prostate cancer can have sex. However prostate cancer treatments such as surgery, radiation, hormone therapy can have sexual side effects such as erection issues, trouble in getting orgasm and in fathering children.

Question

I'm a 34-year-old and I'm concerned about my sex life. I'm noticing that the duration is really short, like it only lasts about a minute. On top of that, my sex drive has been pretty low too. Is there anything I can do to make it last longer and increase my desire?

Question

I'm dealing with an ongoing infection under my foreskin and on the top of my penis. I've been seeing a dermatologist for a couple of months, and while it got better at first, the infection hasn't completely gone away and seems to have gotten worse again. Should I stick with the dermatologist, or is it time to see a urologist? Any advice on what I should do next?

Question

I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?
