I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?

Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.

My father has been diagnosed with a lump in his urinary bladder and there's blood in his urine. The doctors say it's not serious and can be removed with surgery, but I'm still worried. Is this really something that can be fixed easily? What should we expect during recovery?

My penis curves to the left and it's been bothering me. Are there any non-surgical options like traction devices that can help straighten it? What would you recommend trying first?

For penile curvature, a common non-surgical approach is penile traction therapy, which uses a device to gently stretch the penis and potentially help straighten it. While many traction devices are available, starting with a device that offers gentle and consistent stretching is generally recommended.
