I've completely stopped masturbating because I used to feel super fatigued and lazy afterwards. I was doing it every night and it's become a concern for me now. I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I'm just wondering if stopping entirely is a good idea or not. Could you give me some advice on this?

Stopping masturbation completely is a personal choice and can have different effects on individuals. It is important to listen to your body and how it responds to the change. If you are feeling fatigued and lazy after masturbating, it may be a sign that your body needs a break from it. It is generally considered safe to stop masturbating completely, as long as it does not cause any physical or emotional distress. However, it is also important to find a balance that works for you. If you are experiencing any discomfort or changes in your physical or mental health, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I've been wondering about my penis size. It's about 13.5 cm and I'm not sure if that's considered normal or on the smaller side. Is there anything I can do to make it bigger? I'm really curious to know if enlargement is possible.

A penis size of 13.5 cm (about 5.3 inches) is within the average range for adult men. There are no medically proven methods to significantly enlarge the penis. If you have concerns, it's best to discuss them with a healthcare professional to understand what's normal and to address any underlying issues.

I'm a bit worried because I was diagnosed with a UTI about two weeks ago. This morning, I had a follow-up urine routine test to see if it's cleared up, but I'm not sure how to interpret the results. In one report, the latest is highlighted in yellow, and the other is from 14 days ago. Could you help me figure out if I'm still dealing with this infection or if it's finally gone?

I've been having these red rashes on the shaft of my penis, and there's a bit of a light discharge that seems to come with it. It's also making me feel like I need to pee all the time, even when I don't really have to go. What could this be? Could it be something serious? What can I do about it?
