I'm curious about something. I used to masturbate and watch porn every day, but I've managed to stop for a week now, and I actually feel pretty good. Im just wondering, is it okay not to masturbate? Could there be any health issues if I choose not to?

View allI'm really concerned because while I was masturbating, my foreskin's seal broke, and it started bleeding. It's not bleeding now, but it's pretty painful and hard to pull back. I'm struggling to clean it because of the pain. I'm also worried I won't be able to have sex with my girlfriend until it heals. I've just been rinsing it with water for now. Do you think this is serious? How can I make it heal faster, and once it does, will I be okay to have sex again? I'm pretty worried about this situation and would really appreciate some advice.
Sounds like you may have experienced a tear in your foreskin, which can be quite painful. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen to manage the pain and inflammation. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection. Once the tear has healed, you should be able to resume sexual activity with your girlfriend. However, it's important to give it time to heal properly before engaging in any sexual activity to avoid further injury or discomfort. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really worried about having two stones, one that's 14mm in the kidney and another 20 mm in the urinary bladder, especially since I also have heart issues. Could this cause any complications, and what should I do about it?
For the 14mm stone, medication such as Tamsulosin may be attempted in trying to let the stone pass, but the larger stone will definintely need surgical intervention. In such a condition, it may be best to treat both renal calculi with lithotripsy. Since the patient has a cardiac disease history, it is imperative to get clearance from the consulting cardiologist before proceeding.

I am 23 years old. can phimosis be correctedtreated without a surgery thank you. if yesno then please elaborate.
Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery, especially in mild to moderate cases. Non-surgical options include steroid creams and gentle stretching techniques. In some cases, more aggressive dilations using a balloon dilator might be needed. If these methods fail or the phimosis is severe, surgery (circumcision) may be recommended.
