I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been masturbating for about six years, but lately, especially in the last year, I've been doing it more frequently. Now, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller than it used to be and I'm getting stressed about it. Is there a way to get my size back? Could too much masturbation affect my size? Would appreciate any advice or help.

Masturbation doesn't directly affect penis size, but frequent or aggressive masturbation can cause temporary swelling, bruising, or penile fatigue, creating an illusion of shrinkage; to alleviate concerns, consider reducing masturbation frequency, practicing gentle techniques, and focusing on overall physical and mental well-being, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management.

View allI'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.

Is it bad for health to masturbate daily? If so, what might be the side effects in the future? Ive heard there could be issues with productionis that true, or are there actually no side effects? I'm really curious about how this might affect me long-term.
It does not have any harmful side effects on health. In fact, it can have some benefits such as reducing stress, improving sleep, and promoting relaxation. There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation has any negative impact on fertility or future reproductive health.

Four years ago I had a ureteroscopy to remove a 4-5mm blockage stone in my ureter. Now I'm having pain on my left side and my recent ultrasound showed a 2.5mm stone in the mid calyx of my right kidney and a 2.9mm stone in the lower calyx of my left kidney with mild pcs dilation. I really don't want another surgery are there any other treatment options for these stones? What would you suggest?
Given your history and the current situation with 2.5mm and 2.9mm stones, the most likely recommendation is to wait and monitor the stones and your pain levels. Smaller stones often pass naturally, and observing them is a good first step. If the pain becomes severe or you have signs of infection, further intervention might be necessary
