I've been having some on-and-off pain in my lower abdomen over the past few months, so I went for an abdomen scan. The results showed an anechoic cortical cyst in the upper pole of my right kidney, but no renal calculi or signs of hydronephrosis or hydroureter. Should I be worried about this cyst? I'm not sure what it means for my health, and I'd appreciate any advice you can give.

Question

I'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.

Question

I'm really worried because I've been over-masturbating and it's causing a bunch of problems. I've got this awful lower back pain, my eyes are constantly strained, and my sleep patterns are all over the place. There's this weird whitish substance under my armpits, and I'm losing hair on my scalp, which is more sensitive now. I've even noticed small boils and some slight pain in that area. My groin and pelvic area feel cramped, and while my erections seem normal, I don't get morning erections anymore. The real kicker is that orgasms during masturbation just don't feel the same. What should I do?

Question

Hey, one of my friends is having a hard time because he feels like his penis size is a bit too large. Is there any way to actually reduce it? Also, he's curious about how he can boost his sperm count. Any advice would be great.
