I've noticed that my penis has been swollen for the past couple of days, and it's really itchy with the skin looking red on the inside. The head is also pretty swollen. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

This could be a sign of a fungal infection such as balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI've found a painless ulcer where my penis head meets the foreskin, and it's really got me worried. I haven't had any sexual encounters in the last four months, just been on my own, you know, self-masturbation. What could be causing this?
Since you're experiencing an ulcer-like lesion, its important to get a proper diagnosis from a healthcare professional. They may take a swab or perform an examination to identify any infections or other underlying conditions. If it doesnt improve or if you experience pain, discharge, or other concerning symptoms, its best to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

I've been dealing with really painful kidney stones - an 18mm one on the left side and a 3.3mm one on the right. The pain comes and goes but it's pretty intense when it flares up. Is there any way to get relief without having to go through surgery? What would be the best treatment options for stones this size?
You can pick from options like 1. Surgery ( most effective), 2. Extracorporeal short wave lithotripsy ( ESWL) in which there are no cuts involved. Medicines would not be effective except for relieving pain

I've been masturbating every day for the past three years and I'm wondering if this might cause any sexual issues. Can you help me understand if there are any risks? And how can I go about reducing or stopping this habit?
Daily masturbation for 3 years can lead to issues like desensitization, erectile dysfunction, or premature ejaculation, but it's not a guarantee; to stop or reduce masturbation, try techniques like mindfulness, meditation, exercise, or hobbies to redirect your energy, and consider seeking professional help from a therapist or counselor if needed.
