I'm 17 and have been wondering about how often it's normal or healthy to masturbate. Im a bit worried if there's any harm or risk to my health from doing it too much. Can you give me some guidance?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, and there's no specific frequency that's considered "right" or "wrong"; as long as it doesn't interfere with daily life, relationships, or mental health, masturbation is generally not injurious to health, but excessive frequency (e.g., multiple times a day) may lead to temporary physical or emotional issues, so moderation is key.

View allI've been diagnosed with prostatomegaly with intravesical extension and have really poor urine flow, even had retention. My doctor recommended TURP surgery, but I'm not sure if it's the best option should I get a second opinion? What are the alternatives or risks with this procedure?
TURP is standard for severe symptoms—consider second opinion but untreated BPH can cause long-term bladder issues.

I'm thinking about getting circumcised because my foreskin is becoming an issue when I'm trying to clean my penis. Do you think this is a good idea?
Circumcision can be a good choice for some men, especially if there are ongoing issues with hygiene or foreskin-related problems such as phimosis. Consulting with a urologist is the best course of action to help you make an informed decision tailored to your specific needs and concerns. They can provide a full assessment and ensure that circumcision is the appropriate choice for your situation.
