I'm wondering if masturbating too much can cause impotence. I can only get an erection when something is being done to my penis, and I have a hard time keeping it up. I can ejaculate though. I watch porn and get aroused, and I keep fit by going to the gym every day. I don't have any other health problems, so should I be worried?

I've had a hydrocele on my left side for about 5 years now, and initially, doctors said it was normal and didn't need treatment. But last month, my doctor recommended surgery. I'm really trying to avoid surgery are there any other options? I've been doing a fruit diet and cold hip baths, but I'm not sure if that's enough. What else can I try?

While a fruit diet and cold hip baths might offer some temporary relief, they won't resolve a hydrocele. Once a hydrocele persists or becomes large enough to cause discomfort or becomes unsightly, surgery (hydrocelectomy) is generally the recommended treatment, according to multiple sources. Other options like aspiration and sclerotherapy may be considered, but they often come with a higher risk of recurrence than surgery.

I'm 22 and I've been dealing with ejaculation during sleep for the past 45 days. I know it's pretty common, but this has been happening continuously. I usually masturbate once a week or maybe twice a month, and when I do, it's about 3 to 4 times in one go. But I haven't done that for around 15 to 20 days now. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I'm really struggling with the effects of masturbation on my mental and physical health. It leaves me feeling guilty, depressed, and like I'm losing my self-confidence. I'm also experiencing memory loss, trouble making decisions, and both back and neck pain. My heart even races, I feel lazy afterward, and I'm noticing some discharge during sexual feelings. Sometimes I end up discharging really quickly, like within 10 seconds while watching porn. I just want to understand if there's an effective treatment or advice that could help because it's starting to impact my life and career. Could you give me some guidance on this?

It seems that your symptoms are related to emotional and physical stress triggered by excessive masturbation and porn use. Reducing or eliminating these habits, focusing on self-care, practicing mindfulness, and seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor can help improve both mental and physical health. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management techniques can also support recovery.
