I'm really worried about my habit of regular masturbation and I'm wondering if it's actually harmful. What kind of impact could this have on my health? Are there side effects I should be worried about? I'd really appreciate any advice on how I might control this habit.

For the easiest access to surgery for testicular pain and infection in India, consider consulting a doctor in a major medical hub like Delhi or Mumbai. These cities have highly specialized urology and surgical departments with experienced doctors and state-of-the-art facilities.

My foreskin covers the glans a bit and I can't fully retract it when I'm erect. Is this something that might need surgery or can it be managed another way?

If your foreskin only covers the glans slightly and you can't retract it fully, it might not need surgery. You could try gentle stretching exercises, or a urologist may recommend steroid creams. Surgery (circumcision) is a last resort if the condition causes pain or recurrent infections.

My prostate PSA test result was 7 ng/ml and we're meeting the doctors this Saturday to discuss it. Can you give me an idea of what the surgery or operation might cost, including average hospital charges? Just trying to get a rough estimate to plan ahead.
