My dad is 70 and has been struggling with frequent urine leaks and trouble controlling his urge to urinate. He also has severe knee pain, which limits his movement, and is scheduled for knee surgery soon. His limited mobility is making the urination issue even harder to manage. What can we do to help control his incontinence until his knee gets better?

The tip of my penis has been swollen since this morning, and I masturbate pretty regularly. I came across some information that said it might be from excessive or forceful masturbation. The swollen part is really sensitive and it hurts whenever it touches anything. It's painful even during simple activities like walking or doing chores. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will just heal on its own?
