I've been struggling for quite a while now. I did prone masturbation for about 10 years, and I've noticed some uncomfortable changes. My penis now seems damaged. It's bent to the left, the base feels unusually smooth, it's quite small, and my erections only last a few seconds at most. I stopped the prone masturbation two years ago, hoping things would get better, but it feels like the problem is just getting worse. I'm really worried and wondering what can be done to improve my situation. Could you please offer some guidance?

I'm 23 and sometimes I struggle to control this habit. I've heard from others that doing this can mean losing sperm in the future, and it's really worrying me. Could you help clarify this for me?

If you are concerned about excessive masturbation or it is interfering with your daily life, you may consider reducing the frequency. It is important to maintain a healthy balance in all aspects of life. There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation leads to loss of sperm or infertility in the future. It is a natural and normal part of human sexuality. If you have any concerns about your sexual health or habits, it is always a good idea to speak with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I have a 4mm stone in my left ureter and I'm worried if it can pass on its own or if I'll need surgery. Right now I'm taking Drotin M for the pain but I'm not sure what to expect next. Can you help me understand my options?

A 4mm stone in the ureter can sometimes pass on its own, but if it doesn‚Äôt, surgery may be needed. Drotin M can help with pain management, but follow up with your doctor for further treatment options.
