I'm concerned about whether masturbation can lead to urethral stricture or any other issues. I've been masturbating and I'm wondering if there are any negative effects I should be aware of. Can you shed some light on this?

Masturbation does not typically cause urethral stricture. However, excessive or vigorous masturbation can lead to irritation of the genital area. It is important to practice good hygiene and use lubrication to prevent any potential irritation. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after masturbation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider. There are generally no serious long-term effects of masturbation. In fact, it can have some health benefits, such as stress relief and improved sleep. It is a normal and healthy sexual activity.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing early discharge of semen fluid recently, and I've also noticed that my penis size seems to shrink when I provide a sperm sample. Additionally, my results showed that I have reduced active sperm motility at 25 and there are 68 pus cells present under HPF. I'm really concerned about what all this means and what I should do next. Can you help me out with some advice?

Question

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've been feeling really self-conscious about my penis size, which is about 3 inches. I had an experience with my girlfriend where she wasn't satisfied, and it's been making me feel really guilty and embarrassed. I've heard about treatments for penis enlargement, specifically with Unani Medicines, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I be seeing a urologist or a sexologist to discuss this? I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to approach the situation.
