I'm really worried about this whole nightfall thing. Is seeing a urologist the right move? I'm getting these dreams whenever it happens. Do you have any advice or prescriptions that could help me avoid nightfall for good?

C3R (Corneal Collagen Crosslinking with Riboflavin) treatment is a minimally invasive procedure to treat keratoconus, corneal ectasia, and other corneal disorders.

Longevity of C3R Treatment

  1. Stabilization: C3R treatment can stabilize the cornea and halt the progression of keratoconus or corneal ectasia.
  2. Long-term efficacy: Studies have shown that C3R treatment can be effective for 5-10 years or more, depending on individual factors.
  3. Potential for future treatment: Although C3R treatment can provide long-term stabilization, some patients may require additional treatment in the future, such as repeat C3R or other surgical interventions.

Potential Side Effects of C3R Treatment

  1. Infection: As with any surgical procedure, there is a risk of infection with C3R treatment.
  2. Inflammation: Some patients may experience inflammation or haze in the cornea after C3R treatment.
  3. Dry eye: C3R treatment can cause temporary dry eye symptoms, which usually resolve on their own.
  4. Visual disturbances: Some patients may experience visual disturbances, such as blurred vision or sensitivity to light, after C3R treatment.

I've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?

Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

I have bilateral grade 1 varicocele and my left testicle hangs much lower and feels heavier than the right one. The urologist prescribed hetrazan and health okay tablets, but they aren't helping with the pain and discomfort. Should I consider surgery? What's the best type with the least complications?

While Grade 1 varicocele typically doesn't require surgery, if your symptoms persist, surgery might be considered. If the discomfort, testicle heaviness, and low hanging are persistent despite medication, exploring surgical options. Laparoscopic varicocelectomy is often the preferred approach due to its fewer complications and faster recovery

I've been wondering about a few things and wanted to get your advice. I'm curious if a penis size of 12-13 cm is considered good for sex, and are there any natural ways to increase size? Also, I tend to release sperm quite quickly, often within a minute, and I wonder how I might control that better. Does masturbation actually make your penis size smaller? I'd love some recommendations on foods that could help with penis enlargement and improving sperm health. Is it okay to shave regularly down there, and I also spend a lot of time nude at home; could that be harmful in any way?
