I'm noticing that my penis sometimes shrinks in the middle and looks kind of out of proportion. It's strange because I haven't had any kind of sexual experience, although I do masturbate. This happens either after I masturbate, before taking a hot shower, or just randomly during the day when I look at it. But whenever I get an erection, everything seems normal. It's only an issue when it's flaccid. Is this something I should be worried about? Could masturbation be causing damage, or is this just a normal thing? I'm really hoping for some advice.

It sounds like you're experiencing temporary changes in the size and appearance of your penis when flaccid, which is completely normal. The size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, or even anxiety. Masturbation does not cause permanent damage; if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.

View allI'm a bit worried about something and hoping you can help. Does masturbating too much cause any issues like varicocele? I'm also curious about other side effects of masturbation, especially if it can harm the testicles in any way.
Masturbating excessively does not directly cause varicocele, which is a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. However, frequent masturbation can lead to temporary testicular pain or discomfort.

I've been having this dull burning feeling at the top of my penis after I pee and I'm sure it's not an STD since I've never been married or had sex. There's also a slight burning in the hairy area above my penis on the outside. Do you have any idea what this could be or how I can get rid of it? I've been taking homeopathic medicine for internal hemorrhoidscould that be causing the problem?
The dull burning sensation youre experiencing could be due to mild irritation or an inflammation in the area, possibly from sweating or friction. Its good that you're being cautious, but homeopathy for hemorrhoids shouldnt affect this. Try to keep the area clean and dry, avoid tight clothing, and use a soothing cream like aloe vera. If it persists or worsens, a doctors consultation would be helpful.

I'm having this issue where every time I drink milk, about 10 or 20 minutes later, I have to pee and then it's like every 10 minutes after that, I feel this really strong urge to go again, sometimes like 3 or 4 times. It's pretty intense and I'm not sure if it's normal. Could this be something to worry about?
Your symptoms of frequent urination with full pressure after consuming milk may indicate lactose intolerance, as the body is unable to digest lactose, leading to increased water absorption and urine production; ry reducing or avoiding lactose-containing products or switching to lactose-free or low-lactose alternatives.
