I've been struggling with balanitis for the past couple of months. I tried using CandidB cream, but it only gives me temporary relief. Is there something else I should be doing or any long-term treatment options that could help?

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.

There is no strict "limit" for masturbation; it varies from person to person. Generally, it is safe if it doesn't interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities. Moderation is key, and if you feel any physical discomfort or emotional distress, its worth discussing with a doctor.

I've been having some trouble during sex where I seem to finish too quickly, and my ejaculation isnt as thick as I would expect, plus it doesnt have much force behind it. I have a past of frequently masturbating. Is there any kind of medication that can help with making sperm thicker or help with lasting longer? I'm really concerned and would appreciate any advice.

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
