I'm a bit worried about something and hoping you can help. Does masturbating too much cause any issues like varicocele? I'm also curious about other side effects of masturbation, especially if it can harm the testicles in any way.

Masturbating excessively does not directly cause varicocele, which is a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. However, frequent masturbation can lead to temporary testicular pain or discomfort.

View allI've been having this issue where I wake up in the middle of the night because of an unexpected ejaculation, and I have to rush to the bathroom. It's followed by a lot of urination. This is only the second time its happened, but I really want to stop this from becoming a bigger problem. Ive already cut out things like masturbation because it was affecting my concentration and mood, and I'm worried this involuntary discharge is going to have the same negative effects. I've understood how important it is to preserve seminal fluid and really want to make sure none is lost. I'm hoping you can help me out with this.

I've noticed this strange dark discoloration on the head of my penis, and it seems to get more noticeable after I take a shower. Oddly though, whenever I masturbate, it doesn't really appear there anymore. It doesnt hurt or cause any irritation at all. Could this be related to an STD?
Candid cream for local application,for 2 weeks is advised.

I've got phimosis and talked to a urologist who suggested going through with a circumcision. I'm really scared of surgeries and was hoping for another way to treat it. He mentioned that the situation is quite tight, so I'm wondering if there's a different approach. Also, do adults get stitches after circumcision? How long would I need to stay in bed, and how many days will it take for everything to heal completely?
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, if the phimosis is severe and cannot be resolved with other treatments, circumcision is often the recommended option. Yes, stitches are typically used in adult circumcision, and most people need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time, with complete healing taking around 4-6 weeks. Its important to follow your doctor's aftercare advice for the best outcome.
