I'm a bit worried about my habit of frequent masturbation, especially since I'm in the 15 to 22 age range. I've read some stuff on Google saying that doing it often when you're young can lead to early prostate cancer. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? I usually masturbate twice a day and it's got me concerned about my future. Could you provide some guidance on this?

I recently had sex for the first time and I'm feeling a bit worried. Whenever I pull back the skin on my penis, it hurts, and I'm also concerned because it seems smaller than average. I think there might be a specific condition related to this. Could you tell me what might be going on and if theres anything I should do about it?

A study was done on it according to it the average length of a flaccid penis was 9.16 cm, whereas the average lengths of a flaccid stretched penis and an erect penis, respectively, were 13.24 and 13.12 cm, In addition, the average circumference was 9.31 cm for a flaccid penis and 11.66 cm for an erect penis... In addition to this concern, referred to as small penis anxiety, some men who are preoccupied and severely distressed with the size of their penis may be diagnosed with body dysmorphic disorder...Penile shortening is a phenomenon that is associated with certain medical and surgical conditions. These conditions include prostate cancer patients treated with radical prostatectomy, Peyronie's disease and congenital anomalies. There is also some evidence that erectile dysfunction may be an independent risk factor for shortening... Standard measuringtechniques are necessary to determine the results of penile lengthening procedures...you need clinical examination to deal peeling issue...consult urologist they will examine and explain you about treatment modalities
