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 been a paraplegic since I was 19 and now I'm 34. I heard penile implant surgery might help with erectile dysfunction. Can I talk to a urologist about whether this could work for me and what the process would look like?

I found out I have mild to moderate varicocele in my left testis after a Doppler test and ultrasound. Could prone masturbation be causing this? What should I do next is surgery necessary or are there other options?
Varicocele is not caused by masturbation. Mild-to-moderate cases are usually managed conservatively. Surgery (varicocelectomy) is needed only if fertility is affected or pain persists.

My brother has phimosis and can't pull his foreskin back. He only noticed this recently but doesn't have issues with erections or peeing. However, he's been experiencing premature ejaculation during masturbation. Is this because of phimosis? What are the treatment options, and can surgery be done at his age? His wedding is in August would recovery be possible by then? Need advice as soon as possible.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
