Ever since the past 10 years, I've been masturbating two or three times a day. But recently, I've noticed that my penis isn't getting hard while I do it. I hardly have sex, maybe once or twice a year, and even then, I don't ejaculate. Now I'm really worried because it's becoming a problemnot just the erectile issue, but also hair loss. I feel like everything's falling apart, and I've even started having suicidal thoughts. I'm too embarrassed to talk to anyone about it. Can you suggest what I should do?

Im so sorry youre feeling this wayits important to know this can be treated. Erectile issues and hair loss might stem from stress, hormonal imbalances, or over-masturbation. Please see a doctor to check your testosterone and mental health; you're not alone, and help is available.

View allI've done a semen culture, and they found klebsiella pneumoniae ssp pneumoniae. My doctor is saying I should take gentamicin 80mg, but I've read online about a bunch of side effects. I'm worried and not sure if I should go ahead with this injection. Can you give me some advice?
Gentamicin is a suitable treatment option for Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, considering its broad-spectrum antibiotic properties.

Can grade 23 varicocele only be treated with surgery or are there other options? I have slight discomfort when standing for long or lifting weights is surgery the best solution? How does stopping the vein work during surgery and how do we know blood will find another way to flow? Would love to hear your thoughts based on experience.

I've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?
While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.
