I'm experiencing issues with penis enlargement and maintaining hardness, which I think might be connected to frequent masturbation. Are there any treatments or solutions for this?

A vertical black line on your thumbnail can be concerning.
Possible Causes
- Vitamin deficiency: Deficiencies in vitamins like B7 (biotin), B12, or vitamin C can cause nail changes.
- Nail trauma: Injury to the nail bed or nail plate can cause a black line.
- Fungal infection: Fungal infections like onychomycosis can cause nail discoloration.
- Melanonychia: A harmless condition causing a black line or streak on the nail.
What to Do
- Consult a doctor: Visit a dermatologist or a primary care physician to evaluate the nail change.
- Vitamin supplements: Ensure you're getting adequate vitamins through your diet or supplements.
- Nail care: Keep your nails clean, dry, and moisturized to prevent fungal infections.
- Monitor the nail: Observe the nail for any changes, such as growth or color changes.
When to Seek Immediate Attention
- Pain or discomfort: If you experience pain or discomfort in your nail or surrounding area.
- Bleeding or discharge: If you notice bleeding or discharge from the nail.
- Fever or swelling: If you have a fever or swelling around the nail.

View allI'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?
Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

Hey, I'm a bit concerned about my situation. I started off okay but then got pretty wrapped up in masturbation and now I'm dealing with PE. Plus, I'm kinda hooked on porn too. Do you think if I change my diet to stuff that's healthier it might help, or should I definitely see a homeopathic doctor about this?
While eating healthy is always beneficial, it is unlikely to be the sole solution to your concerns. It would be helpful to address the underlying causes, including possible psychological factors, through a combination of medical consultation, therapy, and lifestyle changes. Consulting a homeopathic doctor may be a good option if you're looking for an alternative approach, but its important to consider a comprehensive plan that includes medical, psychological, and behavioral components for the best outcome.
