I'm doing daily masturbation and I'm wondering if it could affect anything health-wise. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Would appreciate some guidance.

Masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity. It does not cause any physical harm or have any long-term side effects. However, excessive masturbation can lead to temporary genital irritation. It is important to maintain a balance and listen to your body's needs. If you experience any discomfort, you can use over-the-counter creams like Calamine lotion to soothe the irritation.

I've been diagnosed with phimosis and need surgery soon which option is safer and better, laser or ZSR? I'm really worried and want to make the right choice quickly.

Laser circumcision is actually the permanent solution for phimosis. So, if your doctor recommends you undergoing laser circumcision or stapler circumcision, be assured that it is the safest procedure and inflicts minimal pain
