I'm masturbating about 12 times a day, and I'm worried about what kind of effects this might have on my health. Is there any medication or advice you could give me to help stop or cut back? I'm just concerned if it's doing any harm.

Masturbating 1-2 times a day is generally considered a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive masturbation can lead to physical and mental health issues, such as fatigue, guilt, and decreased productivity; if you feel it's impacting your daily life, consider consulting UROLOGIST

I'm really concerned about my urine test results. It shows pus cells at 24 hpf, epithelial cells at 35 hpf, and ketones are present, but everything else seems normal. What does this mean exactly? Should I be worried about these numbers?

My penis is about 6 inches when erect, but I can't pull back the skin fully when it's hard because it feels too tight. When it's around 3 inches, I can retract the skin up to the head. Do I need surgery, exercises, or medication for this?

This is known as paraphimosis and it's a medical emergency. Immediate treatment is needed to avoid serious complications like restricted blood flow to the penis. A doctor may be able to return the foreskin to its original position. Sometimes surgery to remove the foreskin (circumcision) may be recommended.
