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.

I've been diagnosed with mild right-sided hydronephrosis and a 3.4x2.7 mm left kidney stone with 150 HU. There's also mild right-sided perinephric fat stranding and peripelvic fluid, plus delayed contrast excretion on the right side. My right ureter is dilated with a 400 HU, 53 mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is this something that can be treated without surgery, or is surgery the only option? Really worried and need advice fast.

I'm not sure if this is a big issue or not, but I can't really control how long I last before ejaculating. It's like, I finish in about two to three minutes, and it's kind of embarrassing when I'm with my partner. Do you have any tips or exercises, maybe even some kind of lotion or technique, that could help me last longer so I can enjoy the experience more fully?

It sounds like you're experiencing premature ejaculation, which is common and treatable. You can try techniques like the "start-stop" method or pelvic floor exercises to improve control. Consulting with a healthcare provider can help identify the best treatment options, including behavioral techniques or medications. Don't feel awkwardthis is something many people work through with support.
