I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

View allCan surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostatitis increase the risk of prostate cancer later on I'm 58 with a PSA of 18.9 and worried about this possibility
No, surgery for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or prostatitis generally does not increase the risk of prostate cancer later on. However, there are other factors that can affect PSA levels and potentially lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer after treatment for BPH or prostatitis.

I'm experiencing some pain in my right testicle along with a bit of swelling and tenderness. It's not there all the time and I can handle it, but it gets painful when I touch the area where the veins connect to the testicle. It feels like something isn't quite right. Can you please give me some advice on what this might be?
You may be experiencing epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis, the coiled tube located behind the testicle that stores and carries sperm. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the testicle. I recommend you to take an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen as needed for pain and inflammation. Make sure to rest, wear supportive underwear, and apply ice packs to the area to help with swelling and discomfort. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Had emergency kidney stone surgery last Thursday and still have the urethra stent in. I've called the urologist's office multiple times but keep getting the runaround it's been five days now and I'm really worried. What should I do about getting the stent removed?
It's understandable that you're concerned about the ureteral stent after your emergency kidney stone surgery. After five days, it's important to clarify your situation and get the stent removed. If you haven't been given specific instructions about removing it yourself (with a string attached), you should contact your urologist again and request a removal appointment
