Hey, I'm a 14-year-old guy and I've been going through something weird recently. Every time I masturbate, I get these super sharp, cramp-like pains in my stomach. It lasts for about a minute or so, and if I move around too much, I get the pain again but it feels like it's moving up towards my chest. I usually do it every day, so I'm kinda worried and wondering what's going on. Any idea what this could be?

Overexcitement_: Rushing into intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation. 2. Lack of control: Insufficient practice in controlling ejaculation can contribute to the issue. 3. Performance anxiety: Fear of not satisfying your partner can exacerbate the problem.

Solutions

Practice relaxation techniques: Regular relaxation practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, can help reduce anxiety and improve control.

Exercise pelvic floor muscles: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve ejaculation control.

Use the "stop-start" technique: During intercourse, stop when you feel close to ejaculation, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then resume.

Try the "squeeze" technique: When you feel close to ejaculation, squeeze the base of your penis or the head of your penis to delay ejaculation.

Consider counseling or therapy: A sex therapist or counselor can help you address underlying issues and develop strategies to improve your sexual performance.

Topical anesthetics or delay sprays: Certain products, like lidocaine or benzocaine sprays, can help reduce sensitivity and delay ejaculation.

Remember

Communicate with your partner: Openly discuss your concerns and work together to find solutions.

Practice patience and persistence: Overcoming premature ejaculation takes time and effort.

my penis is under 5 inches and i want to make it bigger but i don't want surgery or anything with side effects what can i do

Non-surgical options like vacuum pumps or extenders offer minimal, often temporary gains. Be cautious of scams. Counseling may help if body image is affecting confidence.

Had URS surgery in November 2015 for stones but now after 3 months there's mild pain again. What could be causing this and are there any precautions to prevent recurrence? How quickly can stones come back after surgery?

Mild pain after URS surgery, even 3 months later, could be due to various reasons, including a new stone, residual tissue irritation, or incomplete stone removal. To prevent recurrence, focus on hydration, dietary changes like reducing sodium and oxalate intake, and addressing any underlying medical conditions. While individual recurrence times vary, some studies suggest a median time to recurrence of 12 months after initial URS and SWL procedures, with a higher rate of repeat procedures after SWL compared to URS.
