I'm 19 and I've read that masturbation might cause DNA damage. I'm a bit worried about whether this could cause any issues for having healthy babies in the future. If I stop now, would that help?

It sounds like you're experiencing concerns related to premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. These conditions can be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues.

I've noticed this small lump near my groin that's really painful when I touch it. I'm getting a bit worried and am wondering if there's a specific treatment I should be considering or if this is something that needs immediate attention. Would you be able to give me some guidance on what I should do next?
Based on your description, it sounds like you may have a swollen lymph node or an abscess. I recommend using an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the area several times a day to help reduce the swelling and discomfort. If the lump does not improve or if you develop a fever, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and possible antibiotic treatment.
