I'm just kind of curious, how often is it considered safe to masturbate in a week? Like, I dont want to overdo it or harm myself in any way. Is there such thing as a limit I should be aware of? Hope you can help clarify this for me.

There is no strict "limit" for masturbation; it varies from person to person. Generally, it is safe if it doesn't interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities. Moderation is key, and if you feel any physical discomfort or emotional distress, its worth discussing with a doctor.

View allMy dad's latest report showed a super high level of pus cells, the last count was 8090 but now it's labeled as field packed. What exactly does "field packed" mean for pus cells? I'm really concerned and would appreciate some insight.

I've been wondering about something that's been stressing me out a bit. So, I started masturbating when I was young but stopped when I was 15, and I was still a virgin then. I picked it up again at 18 after a three-year break. Initially, I tried to delay ejaculation, but after a few weeks, I started having issues. I'm going to the bathroom way more often, and I feel some pain in my penis and testicles. Even right after urinating, I still get this urgent feeling like I need to go again. Add to this, I lost my virginity and noticed that even after doing it quite a few times, I can't hold my ejaculation for more than a minute. I still masturbate regularly 'cause I can't really control the urge, and I'm really concerned. I can't help but wonder if these issues could be connected to my masturbation habits or not. Is this something that might mess with my sex life in the future, like after getting married? Any advice or solutions would be really appreciated.
Your issues with frequent urination and rapid ejaculation may be interrelated and potentially linked to your masturbation habits, particularly the practice of holding back ejaculation, which can lead to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, prostate issues, and ejaculatory control problems; to address these issues, consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist who can help you develop healthier masturbation habits, improve pelvic floor muscle function, and provide guidance on managing ejaculation and urinary frequency, which will be beneficial for your future sex life, including after marriage.

I'm 33 and dealing with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. I have urethra pain, a weak urine stream, incontinence, and feel like my bladder never fully empties. I've been taking Tab Alfoo and Urotone for 20 days but barely see any improvement. Is surgery the only way to treat BPH? How can I manage this long-term without stressing too much about it?
While you're young for BPH, it's not unusual to experience its symptoms. Surgery isn't the only treatment option, and there are ways to manage it long-term without excessive stress. Medications, lifestyle adjustments, and proactive monitoring can significantly improve your quality of life
