Hey, I'm dealing with some issues that I think are linked to porn and masturbation. Whenever I engage in sexual activity, I get overly excited, leading to pre-cum and premature ejaculation. The thing is, when it comes to actual sex, I'm not really feeling that emotional connection or excitement, but I still end up ejaculating. Can these problems be permanently resolved? Also, how long would I need to continue taking medication if that's part of the solution?

Regarding your concerns with premature ejaculation (PE) and pre-ejaculatory fluid, consult a urologist or sexologist for personalized guidance; to answer your questions: 1) PE can be effectively managed and treated with a combination of medications, behavioral techniques, and lifestyle changes, offering a potential for long-term improvement or "cure"; 2) the duration of treatment varies depending on individual response, but typically, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), dapoxetine, or topical anesthetics may be prescribed for several months to a year or more, alongside behavioral techniques like the "stop-start" method or pelvic floor exercises.

View allMy frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?
Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .

My brother has grade II varicocele in his left testis and deals with mild to severe pain daily The urologist said surgery is only needed if the testis size reduces but can we consider surgery now just for pain relief Are there other ways to manage the pain without surgery
While surgery (varicocelectomy or embolization) can be considered for pain relief in a grade II varicocele, especially if it's severe and unresponsive to other treatments, it's not always the first choice. Other conservative methods like scrotal support, pain medication, and lifestyle adjustments can be tried first. If pain persists and is significantly impacting quality of life, surgery might be recommended.

I'm dealing with a urinary tract infection and my test results are a bit worrying. They showed that there are many pus cells, occasional epithelial cells, and a few gram-negative bacilli. It also mentioned an E. coli colony count of 100,000ml. I'm not sure what to do next, could you guide me on the best way to treat this?
