I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been struggling with masturbation for about 7 years now. It feels like I'm really addicted and I want to quit but I just don't know how. I'm also worried, does masturbating lead to low sperm count or could it affect my ability to have kids in the future? I'm pretty scared about this and would really appreciate some advice.

Found out I have a 7.44mm kidney stone in my left kidney but no pain or urine issues so far will I need surgery for this?

A 7.44mm kidney stone in your left kidney, even without current pain or urine issues, may not necessarily require surgery, but it's important to consult with a doctor. While smaller stones can pass on their own, larger ones like this one may be more likely to cause problems down the line

I've had this discomfort in the middle of my penis corona for quite a while, and it's really starting to bother me. It's not super painful, but it's irritating enough that I've had to change how I masturbate, and it's been swollen for a long time. I've also noticed that the pain tends to get a bit worse after each time I masturbate. I have had sex before, but that was quite some time ago, long before all this started. What could be going on here? Should I be worried about this swelling and irritation?

It sounds like you might have inflammation or irritation of the penis, potentially from overuse or unnoticed trauma. To help it heal, try reducing masturbation frequency, avoid tight grips, and keep the area clean and moisturized. If swelling or discomfort persists, please see a doctor to rule out infections or other concerns.
