Question

I'm just kind of curious, how often is it considered safe to masturbate in a week? Like, I dont want to overdo it or harm myself in any way. Is there such thing as a limit I should be aware of? Hope you can help clarify this for me.

Question

I'm feeling a bit concerned because I recently had a fever and cold, and even after recovering, I had some lingering symptoms like a headache and weakness. My blood test came back normal, but I'm puzzled about my urine test results. It shows that my pus cell count is 10-15 cellsHPF and epithelial cells are 2-3 cellsHPF, which seems higher than normal. All my other results are within the average range. Is this something I should be worried about? What steps should I take next? I've attached a screenshot of my test results for reference.

Question

I'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?
