I've noticed that my penis size seems to have shrunk from 6 inches to about 5 inches, and I'm really concerned. I've gained around 7 kgs recently, and I also drink a few times a week. I quit smoking regularly about two months ago but used to smoke a lot before. Could these changes be affecting my size and stamina? What kind of diet or lifestyle changes should I consider to maybe get back to my original size and boost my stamina?

View allHey doc, I've been feeling a bit worried lately. My partner and I have been trying to conceive for a while with no luck. I recently started reading about sperm count issues, and now I'm anxious if that could be my problem. Could you give me some advice on how I might increase my sperm count naturally? Are there lifestyle changes or specific foods that might help? I'd appreciate any guidance you can offer.
Here are some evidence-based ways to increase sperm count: *Lifestyle Changes* 1. *Maintain a healthy weight*: Excess weight can lead to hormonal imbalances, affecting sperm count. 2. *Exercise regularly*: Regular exercise can improve sperm quality and count. 3. *Reduce stress*: High stress levels can negatively impact sperm count. Practice stress-reducing techniques like yoga or meditation. 4. *Get enough sleep*: Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night to help regulate hormones and sperm production. *Dietary Changes* 1. *Eat foods rich in antioxidants*: Foods high in antioxidants, such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts, can help protect sperm from damage. 2. *Include zinc-rich foods*: Zinc is essential for sperm production. Include zinc-rich foods like oysters, beef, and chicken in your diet. 3. *Increase omega-3 intake*: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish, nuts, and seeds, can help improve sperm quality. *Supplements* 1. *Vitamin D*: Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to low sperm count. Consider taking a vitamin D supplement after consulting with your doctor. 2. *Zinc supplements*: If you're not getting enough zinc from your diet, consider taking a zinc supplement. 3. *Folic acid*: Folic acid can help improve sperm quality and count. *Avoid* 1. *Smoking*: Smoking can significantly reduce sperm count and quality. 2. *Excessive alcohol consumption*: Limit your alcohol intake to moderate levels (1-2 drinks per day). 3. *Tight clothing*: Wearing tight clothing can increase scrotal temperature, potentially harming sperm production. 4. *Hot tubs and saunas*: Avoid frequent use of hot tubs and saunas, as they can increase scrotal temperature.

I'm finding myself masturbating around 3 times a day and I'm worried if this is a problem. Could this habit be increasing my risk of developing prostate cancer? I'm really concerned and looking for some advice on this.

I've been feeling a lot of tickling on the top and a little deeper inside my hips lately, and my urine has been yellow for a few days now. What's going on with my body?
Too much tickling on the upper side and top of the penis, along with discomfort deep inside the hips and yellow urine could be indicative of a urinary tract infection. I would recommend taking an antibiotic like Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, it would be beneficial to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.
