I'm 24 and I've been masturbating for the past six years. Lately, I've noticed that the shaft of my penis isn't as soft as it used to be. There's also this numb and itchy feeling that comes with it, and its been worrying me. I stopped masturbating for a bit to see if things would get better, but I haven't noticed any changes. Should I be talking to a dermatologist or a urologist about this?

My dad's been dealing with this borderline prostatomegaly thing, and his ultrasound shows the prostate's borderline enlarged at 31x38x34mm and the volume's up to 224cc. There's no sign of any focal lesions, but I'm really worried. Is it necessary to go through another TURP surgery? Last time he had one was back in 2009. What's your take on this?
For borderline prostatomegaly with a prostate volume of 24cc, treatment options include watchful waiting, medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., tamsulosin) or 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride), and lifestyle changes; TURP surgery may not be immediately necessary, especially since your father had it in 2009, but it's essential to consult a urologist for personalized advice and to monitor prostate health.
