I've been dealing with frequent urination for a long time now. In the mornings, I need to go every 10 minutes for about 3 hours. Then around 3 pm, it starts again I feel sudden strong urges with large amounts of urine and my bladder fills up super fast. The pressure feels intense and this lasts 4-5 hours.

I'm just wondering, does masturbation lead to feeling fatigued or weak? Is it actually harmful in any way, and are there any side effects I should be aware of? I'm a bit concerned and would love some clarity.

Masturbation is a natural and normal activity that typically doesn't cause fatigue or weakness unless done excessively. In moderation, its not harmful and doesnt have significant side effects. However, if it becomes compulsive or interferes with daily life, it may be a sign of underlying issues that need attention.

I've heard some Muslim brothers get surgery on their penis for better sexual pleasure for their partner. Is that actually a thing? What does it involve and are there any risks or benefits I should know about?

Penile enhancement surgeries exist but lack medical consensus and carry risks like scarring or nerve damage; not typically recommended for pleasure alone.
