I'm single and not in any relationships, but I have this overwhelming sex drive that's starting to mess with my daily life. Sometimes it even wakes me up at night, leaving me feeling anxious and nervous with sexual thoughts. I end up masturbating almost every day, and some days it's up to three times! I've noticed that doing it so often is giving me some lower back pain and making me feel really tired. Is this kind of desire normal? I read online that it might be due to high testosterone levels, and there's a test for that. But I'm curious, could there be other reasons for this? And what should I do about it? Can it lead to issues in the future?

Excessive sex desire, frequent masturbation, and associated symptoms like lower back pain and tiredness may be related to various factors, including high testosterone levels, hormonal imbalances, stress, anxiety, or underlying psychological conditions; other possible causes include sleep deprivation, certain medications, or nutritional deficiencies; consult a healthcare professional, such as an endocrinologist or a sexologist, for personalized guidance, and consider discussing the following: hormonal testing (e.g., testosterone, prolactin), stress management techniques, sleep hygiene, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to address underlying psychological factors.

I've always been really good at sex, but over the last ten years, I've been masturbating at least 3 to 6 times a day. I used to be able to perform 6 times a night, but now, even though I still masturbate daily, I find myself ejaculating too early, like within 15 seconds during sex. It's been getting worse, and I feel weaker when it comes to sex. What should I do about this?

I'm a 27-year-old guy from Chennai and I've been feeling like my penile frenulum seems a bit too short. I recently heard about frenuloplasty, but I'm not sure where to start. Could you advise on who would be the right specialist to consult and where I might be able to get this procedure done?
Dengue is not contagious in the classical sense, as it cannot be spread directly from person to person. However, it can be transmitted through: 1. Mosquito bites: The primary vector for dengue is the Aedes mosquito, which feeds on the blood of infected individuals and then transmits the virus to others. 2. Blood transfusions: In rare cases, dengue can be transmitted through blood transfusions from an infected donor. 3. Organ transplantation: Dengue can also be transmitted through organ transplantation from an infected donor. To prevent dengue, take the following precautions: 1. *Eliminate mosquito breeding sites*: Remove standing water from containers, flowerpots, and other areas around your home. 2. *Use mosquito repellents*: Apply insect repellents containing DEET, picaridin, or oil of lemon eucalyptus to exposed skin and clothing. 3. *Wear protective clothing*: Wear long-sleeved shirts, long pants, and socks when outdoors, especially during peak mosquito hours. 4. *Use mosquito nets*: If you're sleeping outdoors or in an area without screens, use a mosquito net to cover your bed. 5. *Install window and door screens*: Make sure screens are in good condition and free of holes. 6. *Use air conditioning*: Mosquitoes are less active in cooler temperatures, so using air conditioning can help reduce the risk of bites. 7. *Get vaccinated*: If you live in or plan to travel to areas with high dengue transmission, consider getting vaccinated. The Dengvaxia vaccine is available in some countries for individuals aged 9-45. Symptoms of dengue typically appear within 3-14 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include: 1. *Fever*: High temperature, usually above 104F (40C). 2. *Severe headache*: Pain is often described as piercing or burning. 3. *Pain behind the eyes*: Eye pain is common, especially when moving the eyes. 4. *Joint and muscle pain*: Pain and stiffness in the joints, muscles, and bones. 5. *Rash*: A red, patchy rash may appear on the skin, usually 2-5 days after the onset of fever. 6. *Nausea and vomiting*: Some people may experience stomach upset, nausea, and vomiting. 7. *Fatigue*: Feeling extremely tired and weak. In severe cases, dengue can lead to: 1. *Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)*: A rare but life-threatening complication characterized by severe bleeding, low platelet count, and blood plasma leakage. 2. *Dengue shock syndrome (DSS)*: A severe complication of DHF, characterized by a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to shock and potentially life-threatening complications.
