I'm 16 and have been masturbating quite a bit, sometimes up to three times a day. I've noticed that the veins on my penis are becoming more pronounced and seem to be multiplying. Every day, a new vein seems to pop up, and a couple of them are really thick and very visible, even when I'm not aroused. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

Question

Hey, so my dad's testicles started bleeding even though he didn't get hurt or anything. We noticed his blood pressure was really high at 19090 mmHg when we went for first aid. They said a vein might have burst, causing the bleeding. Could his high blood pressure be the reason for this? Also, what should we do next? Should we go see a doctor straight away or anything else we need to consider?

Question

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?
