I've been wondering if masturbation has any connection to premature ejaculation. Like, does it cause it or make it worse? Also, how can I tell if I'm actually dealing with premature ejaculation? It would be great to get some clarity on this.

Masturbation itself doesn't cause premature ejaculation, but excessive or hurried habits may affect control. Premature ejaculation is typically defined as ejaculating within a minute of penetration or before the person wishes, and it often causes distress or relationship issues. If this happens frequently, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider.

View allI'm experiencing some discomfort and it's been worrying me. It started with pain in my lower abdomen, and after a while, I began feeling pain in my penis and the nearby pelvic area. I've had IBS for quite some time, and I'm wondering if this penile pain could be related to my lower abdomen issues and IBS. Does that make sense? Could they be connected?
Recurrent vaginal yeast infections can be challenging to manage. Since you've already taken two doses of fluconazole (FAS 3-kit) and still experience recurring infections, it's essential to consider other factors contributing to the recurrence. *Possible Reasons for Recurrence* 1. *Hormonal changes*: Your periods might be triggering the recurrence due to hormonal fluctuations. 2. *Incomplete treatment*: The initial treatment might not have fully cleared the infection. 3. *Underlying medical conditions*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, can increase the risk of recurrent yeast infections. 4. *Antibiotic use*: Recent antibiotic use can disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora, leading to yeast overgrowth. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult your gynecologist again*: Discuss your recurring symptoms and ask about further treatment options. 2. *Consider alternative treatments*: Your doctor might recommend alternative antifungal medications, such as clotrimazole or miconazole, or a longer treatment course. 3. *Maintain good hygiene and lifestyle habits*: Continue to follow your doctor's advice on hygiene, fluid intake, and dietary changes. 4. *Probiotics and dietary supplements*: Certain probiotics and dietary supplements, such as lactobacillus acidophilus, may help maintain a healthy vaginal flora. *Fluconazole Use* While you can take another dose of fluconazole, it's essential to consult your doctor first. They will assess your situation and determine the best course of action.

I'm a bit concerned because a few days ago, I noticed some mild pain in my right testicle and now it's swollen. I've been taking painkillers, which helped a bit, but I've found a lump in my spermatic cord. Is this something I should be worried about? Should I see a urologist for this, or would a general surgeon be better?

I've been having an issue with the skin on my penis, specifically where it connects underneath it's only about 1 cm attached, and it feels too tight. Everything else seems fine, but when I'm having sex, it gets painful because the skin can't pull back all the way. I looked it up and think it might be a tight frenulum. The pictures I found online match exactly what's going on with me. Would surgery be the right fix for this?
It's possible you have a tight frenulum, also known as frenulum breve, which can cause pain during sexual activity and difficulty retracting the foreskin. While a surgical procedure, known as frenuloplasty, might be an option to lengthen the frenulum, it's best to discuss your concerns and potential treatment options with a doctor. They can properly assess your condition and determine the best course of action for you
