I'm really curious if masturbating twice a day could be causing my back pain. Lately, I can't sit for long periods without discomfort. Do you think there's a connection between frequent masturbation and back pain, or could it be something else?

Other infections : Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes or chlamydia, can also cause vaginal boils and discharge.

I've got some small cracks and cuts on my foreskin near the tip. Most of the time it doesn't hurt, but when I pull the skin back fully, those cuts start stinging for a day or so before settling down. The cuts seem to stay but the pain comes and goes. Should I be using some cream or is this something that might need surgery?

dermat opinion is advised.

I'm using Vigora 50 whenever I have sex, and I'm wondering if that could be dangerous. Could you let me know if there are any risks involved? If there are, I'd really appreciate some advice on what to do.

Vigora-50 contains Sildenafil, which is used to treat erectile dysfunction. It is generally safe to use as directed, but it can have potential side effects such as headache, flushing, indigestion, and changes in vision. However, if you have certain medical conditions like heart problems, it can be dangerous to use without medical supervision. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or vision changes while using Vigora-50, you should stop using it and seek medical attention.

My 80-year-old grandfather has prostate enlargement and the doctor recommended testicle removal surgery but he also has prostate cancer is this surgery safe for him given his condition?

Testicle removal surgery (orchiectomy) is a form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer and can be used to manage prostate enlargement, but it's not a common treatment for prostate cancer alone. The decision of whether to proceed with the surgery needs to be made based on individual factors, including the severity of prostate enlargement, the stage and aggressiveness of prostate cancer, and the patient's overall health and life expectancy
