I'm 20 years old and have been masturbating daily for the past four years. Is it healthy to do this every day? I've heard that ejaculating sperm daily might affect future fertility and that it could be risky for married life. My girlfriend is also concerned and insists I quit the habit urgently. Is there any truth to these worries, especially about affecting my ability to ovulate, even though I know ovulation is related to females? I'm anxious about whether this will complicate things when I'm married. Looking for some guidance.

I'm a 45-year-old guy and I've been using hair dye for the past 15 years, but lately I've started having allergic reactions. There's itching on my scalp and face, and my face has turned kind of blackish. I've tried different brands and types, like liquids, powder, and shampoo dyes over the years. Could you suggest a hair dye or maybe tablets that might help with these allergies, and is there an ointment that could help reduce the dark color on my face?

I noticed a black bump in my butt about a week ago and it's still there. Is this something that can go away on its own or do I need to see a doctor? It doesn't hurt much but the color worries me. Can it be treated without surgery?

It could be a thrombosed external hemorrhoid or cyst. If painless, warm compresses and observation help. See a doctor if it persists or changes.
