I'm concerned about whether masturbation can lead to urethral stricture or any other issues. I've been masturbating and I'm wondering if there are any negative effects I should be aware of. Can you shed some light on this?

Masturbation does not typically cause urethral stricture. However, excessive or vigorous masturbation can lead to irritation of the genital area. It is important to practice good hygiene and use lubrication to prevent any potential irritation. If you experience any pain or discomfort during or after masturbation, it is advisable to consult a healthcare provider. There are generally no serious long-term effects of masturbation. In fact, it can have some health benefits, such as stress relief and improved sleep. It is a normal and healthy sexual activity.

I've been having this issue where after I ejaculate, I get a burning sensation and it feels kind of weird inside my penis. It doesn't happen every time, but even when it's not burning, there's this strange feeling that lingers for a while after. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Do you have any idea what's going on or how I can fix it?

When you experience a burning sensation inside your penis after ejaculation, it could be due to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract or prostate. I recommend you to take a course of antibiotics like Ciprofloxacin to treat any possible infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen for pain relief and to reduce inflammation. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any bacteria. If the symptoms persist, it is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I've been dealing with orchitis in my right testis for the past 8 months and nothing seems to help. Some doctors say it's orchitis, but my test reports suggest TB orchitis. I've been on TB meds for 7 months with no improvement. One senior doctor recommended surgery but I'm hesitant. The pain is constant any advice on what else I can try?

To guide you correctly, a thorough assessment is necessary.
