I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?

Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.

View allI've been having some pain in my left testicle on and off. What could be causing this?
Pain in the left testicle that comes and goes can be caused by various factors, such as **muscle strain**, **epididymitis** (inflammation of the epididymis), or even **testicular torsion**, although the latter is typically more sudden and severe. If the pain persists or is accompanied by swelling or other symptoms, it's important to see a healthcare provider for an evaluation and to rule out any serious conditions.

I've noticed some skin rashes on my penis and a small area on the head that looks irritated. Im worried it might be balanitis. How should I treat this? Is there something specific I need to do or avoid?
Balanitis is a common condition characterized by inflammation of the glans penis; to treat balanitis, practice good hygiene, keep the area clean and dry, avoid irritants like harsh soaps or bubble baths, and apply topical creams or ointments like hydrocortisone, clotrimazole, or miconazole; if symptoms persist or worsen, consult a doctor or urologist for proper diagnosis and treatment, which may include antibiotics or antifungal medications.

My dad is scheduled for laser surgery to treat his urinary bladder stone and prostate issue, but the surgeon mentioned he won't operate on the left kidney stone because it's small around 5.5mm. The report also mentioned a cortical cyst, which the surgeon says isn't a stone, but we thought it was a 15mm stone. Can you clarify what this cortical cyst is and what we should do about it?
He just needs prostrate surgery and bladder stone removal. As his left kidney stone is very small and doesn't require surgical intervention. Nothing to worry about cortical cyst.
