I'm really struggling with a masturbation addiction. It seems like every time I have some free time, I end up doing it. Sometimes it's as much as three or four times a day, and it's really starting to affect me. I can't seem to gain any weight either. Could there be a connection, and what can I do to manage this habit better?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I'm having this pain on the left side of my shaft, and its really bothering me. I went to a urologist, and they mentioned the pain might be just my fear, but I can still feel it. Also, Ive got this varicocele in my left testicle. Could the pain be related to that? I'm just trying to figure out what's going on here.

A varicocele often produces no signs or symptoms. Rarely, it may cause pain. The pain may: Vary from sharp to dull discomfort Increase with standing or physical exertion, especially over long periods Worsen over the course of a day Be relieved when you lie on your back
