I'm kind of worried because I noticed something unusual with my masturbation routine. A few days ago, semen was coming out as usual, but the last two times, even though it felt like it did, nothing actually came out. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned about it?

Consult a urologist to discuss your symptoms, as the sensation of ejaculation without semen release, also known as "dry orgasm" or "retrograde ejaculation," can be caused by various factors, including over-masturbation, prostate issues, or certain medications, and they can provide personalized guidance and reassurance.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed this small bump on the side of my urinary meatus. It's been there for about two months now, and even though it's not causing any pain or discomfort, it hasn't gone away or changed at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own?
