I have phimosis but it's not like the typical cases I've read about there's no pain, swelling, or trouble peeing, and everything else seems normal. The only issue is I've never been able to retract my foreskin since birth. Are there any non-surgical ways to manage this? Could it cause problems later or affect sex?

I'm really curious about the effects of masturbating every day. I've seen mixed opinions online some say it's bad for you, while others seem to think its totally fine. Its confusing and Id love to get a clear answer on whether it's actually a problem or not. What's the right perspective on this?

Masturbating daily is generally not harmful for most people, as long as it doesnt interfere with daily life, relationships, or cause distress. However, if you feel it's becoming excessive or affecting your well-being, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I've been dealing with this tingling sensation and burning at the tip of my penis when I pee for almost a year now. I saw a doctor before, and they put me on antidepressants, which seemed to help, but whenever I stop taking them, the symptoms come back. I've also noticed some pain at the base of my penis. What's going on here? Is there something else I should be looking into?

Tingling in the penile area, burning sensation at the tip of the penis after urination, and pain at the base of the penis could be indicative of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. Since you have already tried antidepressants without complete relief, I recommend consulting a doctor for a thorough evaluation and possible prescription of antibiotics. In the meantime, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen for the pain.

Will UTI go away on its own?

While it's possible for the body to clear a mild infection on its own in some cases, it can be very risky not to treat a confirmed UTI with antibiotics.
