I've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?

Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

View allI've been having some issues after masturbating last night. After about 12 hours, I noticed blood on the head of my penis. I urinated and washed it, but it happened two more times after peeing. By morning, my urine seemed normal again. I had an ultrasound and urine test done, and they were normal, except for red blood cells detected in my urine. I'm worried because when my penis gets erect, I feel a very slight pain in the middle for about 12 seconds, and then it bleeds, especially after I urinate a few times. After around 23 urinations, everything seems to go back to normalno pain or blood. I'm taking leon 500 once a day, but I'm concerned about any blockage or injury from masturbation. Could you suggest what might be going on?
you may be experiencing some trauma or injury to your penis during masturbation. The presence of blood in the urine and pain during erection could be indicative of a urethral injury or inflammation. Since you have already taken Leon-500, which contains Levofloxacin, an antibiotic, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed to prevent any infection. I recommend you also take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen to help reduce any inflammation and pain in the area. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to prevent infection. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out your system and avoid any activities that may further irritate or injure the area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Will masturbating 10 hours before a blood test and urine test affect my results for kidney, liver panel, sugar, or urine RM? Or should I just abstain? I'm a bit worried about how accurate the results will be.
Masturbation 10 hours before a blood test or urine test is unlikely to significantly affect the results of a kidney liver panel, sugar fasting, or urine routine microscopy (RM) tests;

I'm a 33-year-old married woman with a kid and have been dealing with recurrent UTIs once or twice a year. There's a small hole in my vagina since birth that lets feces pass, which my urologist says is an RVF. I never had UTIs before marriage, but now they keep coming back. Which medical department should I consult for RVF? Is surgery the only option, and what's the success rate since I've heard it can come back even after surgery?
