How often is it okay to masturbate in a day? I'm 17-and-a-half years old, weigh 55 kg, and my height is 5'8".

Masturbation frequency varies for each individual and there is no specific number of times that is considered "normal." It is generally considered healthy as long as it does not interfere with daily activities or cause distress. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

View allI'm really concerned because I've noticed that my penis seems smaller, and the skin doesn't move back at all. Plus, there are red patches appearing at the tip that seem like an infection. Could you give me some advice on what this might be or how I could treat it?
Diagnosis* 1. *Phimosis*: A condition where the foreskin is tight and cannot be retracted over the glans penis. 2. *Balanitis*: An inflammation of the glans penis, which can cause red patches, itching, and discharge. 3. *Genital warts or other STIs*: Although less likely, it's essential to rule out other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). *Treatment Advice* 1. *Consult a urologist or dermatologist*: Schedule an appointment with a specialist to confirm the diagnosis and receive personalized treatment. 2. *Topical creams or ointments*: For balanitis, your doctor may prescribe topical creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole. 3. *Antibiotics or antivirals*: If an STI is suspected, your doctor may prescribe antibiotics or antivirals to treat the underlying infection. 4. *Circumcision or preputioplasty*: If phimosis is diagnosed, your doctor may recommend circumcision or preputioplasty to loosen the foreskin. 5. *Good genital hygiene*: Practice good genital hygiene by keeping the area clean, avoiding harsh soaps, and wearing loose-fitting clothing. *Additional Tips* 1. *Avoid self-medication*: Refrain from using over-the-counter creams or ointments without consulting a doctor. 2. *Practice safe sex*: Use condoms to prevent the transmission of STIs. 3. *Follow-up appointments*: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor treatment progress and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I have grade 2 varicocele with a sperm count of 15 million and motility at 35%. Can this be treated with Ayurvedic medicine or do I need surgery? Looking for guidance on the best approach.
For a grade 2 varicocele with a sperm count of 15 million and 35% motility, both Ayurvedic treatments and surgical options could be considered. Ayurvedic approaches might focus on managing pain and inflammation, potentially improving sperm parameters. However, if pain is severe or fertility is significantly impacted, surgery, specifically varicocelectomy or embolization, may be recommended

My foreskin won't pull back all the way it only goes down a little before it starts hurting. I really don't want surgery, so what else can I do to fix this? It's really bothering me and affecting my daily life.
Paraphimosis is a medical emergency in which you can't draw your foreskin back down over the head of your penis. It can happen if you have a partially circumcised or uncircumcised penis. You must get treatment as soon as possible to prevent permanent damage to your penis.
