I've been masturbating every day since I was 13, and I'm now 19. I'm worried because I feel like it's making my penis smaller. Are there any supplements, oils, or exercises that can help make it bigger? Also, what precautions should I take?

It's important to note that masturbation does not affect the size of your penis. Penis size is primarily determined by genetics and natural growth during puberty, which typically concludes in your late teens. If you're concerned about your health or body image, I recommend speaking with a healthcare professional to discuss any worries and get personalized advice.

I'm having this discomfort with my left testicle, especially when there's even just a little pressure. It really hurts sometimes when I'm walking around. There's no swelling that I can see, and my right testicle seems perfectly okay. Oh, and I've noticed that my urine's been pretty yellow lately. What could be going on here?

Your symptoms suggest possible epididymitis (inflammation of the epididymis) or orchitis (inflammation of the testicle), which may be caused by a bacterial or viral infection; consult a urologist immediately for a thorough evaluation, i

My brother has partial phimosis and we're considering surgery but I was wondering if there's a cream or tablet that could help loosen the skin so he can retract it fully without needing an operation

Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin. This makes it easier to retract the foreskin without experiencing severe pain or discomfort. Just apply the cream or ointment in the area around the head of the penis twice or thrice a day
