I'm having some discomfort with my penis. The head hurts when I touch it, and there's a burning feeling sometimes when I pee. Can you help me understand what's going on? Is it safe to have sex while I'm experiencing this?

Symptoms could indicate a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. For the pain and burning sensation, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen. However, it is important to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and prescription of antibiotics if needed. Regarding having sex with these symptoms, it is advisable to avoid sexual activity until you have been evaluated and treated to prevent spreading any potential infection to your partner.

I'm really concerned about my penis size. I'm 19, and my current size is about 5 inches, but I would like it to be around 8 or 9 inches, both in length and width. I'm quite active and physically fit, but I find that after masturbating, which I do a couple of times a day, I feel really tired. I also do at least an hour of exercise every morning. Are there any exercises or diets that can help me increase my penis size and improve my sperm-holding capacity? Would love some guidance on this.
