I've been masturbating daily since I was 15, and I've noticed something odd that's got me a bit worried. When I masturbate, my penis tends to soften within about 10 seconds without me even touching it. The thing is, I can easily achieve a full erection, and I also get morning erections every two or three days. I haven't had intercourse in 12 years, so I'm not really sure how things would go when I'm with a partner. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

This could be a sign of erectile dysfunction. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any medication to ensure it is safe for you.

I'm really worried about my hair loss. The crown of my head is almost bald now, but thankfully the rest of my hair seems okay. I'm wondering, is there really a medication out there that can reverse this permanently? And if medication can't cut it, what other steps should I consider taking?

Hair loss on the crown area, known as male pattern baldness, can be treated with medication to some extent. One of the most common medications for this is Finasteride, which is taken orally once a day. Another option is Minoxidil, which is a topical solution applied to the scalp twice a day. These medications can help slow down hair loss and promote some regrowth, but results vary from person to person. It's important to note that these medications need to be used continuously to maintain any benefits. If medication alone is not providing satisfactory results, another option to consider is hair transplant surgery. This involves moving hair follicles from areas of the scalp where hair is thicker to the balding areas. This can provide a more permanent solution to hair loss on the crown. It's best to consult with a dermatologist or a hair specialist to discuss the most suitable treatment option for your specific situation.
