I'm a 30-year-old male considering circumcision and I'm trying to figure out whether the laser procedure or the traditional method is better. Id appreciate some guidance on this. Additionally, could you recommend any specialists in the Mumbai area?

What happens when you masturbate?*
Masturbation is a natural process where you stimulate your genitals to achieve orgasm. During masturbation:
- Hormonal release: Oxytocin, dopamine, and endorphins are released, causing feelings of pleasure and relaxation.
- Blood flow increase: Blood flow to the genitals increases, leading to erection and arousal.
- Muscle contractions: Muscles in the pelvic area contract, leading to orgasm.
Advantages of masturbation:
- Stress relief: Masturbation can help reduce stress and anxiety.
- Sleep improvement: Orgasms can help improve sleep quality.
- Pain relief: Masturbation can help alleviate menstrual cramps, headaches, and other types of pain.
- Improved mental health: Masturbation can boost self-esteem, confidence, and mood.

Does masturbation affect immunity or brain activity?
Moderate masturbation does not significantly impact immunity or brain activity. However, excessive masturbation can lead to:
- Immune system suppression: Excessive masturbation can weaken the immune system, making you more susceptible to illnesses.

Ive been experiencing this strange pain in the shaft of my penis, like its going to burst. It doesnt happen all the time, but now and then when my penis is erect. The pain seems to start from the middle and pushes out towards the sides. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
It sounds like you might be experiencing penile discomfort, possibly due to tension in the tissues or muscles during an erection. It could be related to conditions like Peyronie's disease, but I recommend seeing a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and treatment options tailored to your situation.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my butt for over a month now and even after visiting the doctor, who said it'll be fine and gave me some painkillers, it's still there. I decided to get an MRI and CT scan, but those came back normal too. Now it's super frustrating because in the last five days, I've started feeling this sharp pain on my right side as well. Plus, I've been needing to pee a lot more often. Could all these be connected somehow? I'm seriously worried and just want to find out what might be going on.
