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?

View allI'm a bit worried because I tried taking a Manforce 100 mg tablet about 30 minutes before having sex with my girlfriend, but it didn't seem to help me stay longer, and I ended up with a headache after half an hour. Can you tell me the right way to use Manforce 100 mg before sex and how long it's meant to keep you going? I'm also curious about the differences between the 50 mg and 100 mg doses. I'm 23 years old, by the way. Should I stick with the 100 mg?
Manforce (sildenafil) 100 mg should be taken on an empty stomach with water about 1 hour before sex for best results, as it needs time to work. Its effect lasts 46 hours but doesn't directly control duration. If 100 mg causes headaches, try 50 mg instead. Consult a doctor to confirm the dose suitable for you.

I'm having a problem where my foreskin doesn't stretch properly because it never did from childhood. This makes sex really painful for me. I'm really worried and unsure about what to do. Can you give me some advice on how to deal with this?
You likely have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract; consult a urologist or a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and discussion of treatment options,

I'm really concerned because a few years ago, I had a laparoscopic stent implantation done through the urethral opening when I was 21. During that procedure, they had to slightly remove the prepuce because the glans penis was completely covered since I was a kid. Only a tiny opening was there for urine. After they opened the preputial orifice, the skin was soft, pinkish-white, and super sensitive. But about a year later, I noticed a black spot there. There's no growth, it's just a spot, and I'm really confused about what it could be. Is this a lentigo or something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure this out?
