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.

I'm having a tough time dealing with varicocele on my left side, and it's been going on for about 2 years now. At first, it was really uncomfortable with a burning feeling and heaviness, and it felt like there was a bag of worms there. The burning has eased up, but there's still some heaviness and pain, which is worrying me. On top of that, I'm struggling with some fertility issues. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
You are experiencing symptoms of varicocele, which is the swelling of the veins inside the scrotum. To help alleviate the heaviness and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. For fertility issues related to varicocele, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Clomiphene to help increase sperm production. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases to repair the varicocele and improve fertility. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
