I'm a 13-year-old boy and I've been really concerned about my habit of masturbation. I usually do it about twice a day, and lately, I've been feeling really tired and skinny. I'm worried there's something wrong. Are there any negative side effects I should know about? And if it's a problem, what can I do to reduce how often I masturbate? I'm kinda stressed about it and would appreciate any advice you have.

Excessive masturbation can lead to physical and mental health issues. It is important to find ways to reduce this habit. To avoid masturbation, you can try the following. Keep yourself busy with activities such as sports, hobbies, or spending time with friends and family. Practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation to reduce stress and anxiety, which can trigger the urge to masturbate. Avoid triggers such as pornography or being alone in private spaces for extended periods. Seek counseling or therapy to address any underlying emotional issues that may be contributing to this habit. In addition, to help with your fatigue and weight loss, you may consider taking a multivitamin supplement to ensure you are getting essential nutrients. Also, try to maintain a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. If you continue to feel tired and skinny, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

Can fistula and hydrocele surgeries be done at the same time or is it better to do them separately I've heard mixed opinions and want to understand the risks and recovery process if both are done together

Fistula and hydrocele surgeries can be done together, but the best approach often depends on the individual case and surgeon's preference. Both surgeries are generally considered relatively low-risk, but combining them might slightly increase the risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. The recovery process might also be slightly longer if both procedures are done concurrently.

I've been noticing that I'm peeing more than 10 times a day, and right after I go, I feel this urge to drink water again. Could this be a sign of something going on with my bladder?

Risk of pregnancy- Very low to negligible. Why ?-1. Precum (pre-ejaculate) contains fewer sperm than semen. 2. You wiped off the precum immediately. 3. No ejaculation occurred. 4. No penetration took place (most probably). Her menstrual cycle:* 1. Day 14-16 of her cycle (September 8-10) would be ovulation time (assuming 28-day cycle). 2. Since the incident occurred on September 11, ovulation likely passed.

I'm curious about using coconut oil or Vaseline for anal sex. Are they safe options for lubricant, or should I be looking for a specific gel or oil that's meant for this purpose? Would love some guidance on what's best to use.

As a doctor, I would recommend avoiding coconut oil or Vaseline as lubricants for anal sex, as they can break down latex condoms and may cause irritation. It's best to use a water-based or silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for sexual activity to ensure comfort and safety.
