View allI've been reading about venous leak and I'm really worried can it be treated with pills or is surgery the only option? I've heard leaving it untreated can mess with mental health like causing anxiety or low self-esteem and I'm not sure what to do
Yes, venous leakage (also known as veno-occlusive dysfunction) can often be treated without surgery. Several non-surgical options are available, including medication, endovascular procedures, and other interventions.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been able to get good erections when I'm having sex or masturbating, but I never have morning erections. I'm wondering why that might be. Recently, I've also noticed that when I'm standing up and masturbating, I can't quite get a full erection. I feel like this could be psychological because I've always masturbated while sitting down. But reading stuff online just seems to make me more stressed about it. Is there really something like position-dependent erections? And is watching porn and masturbating harmful in any way?
It is not uncommon for some men to experience variations in their erections based on different positions or situations. The absence of morning erections can sometimes be due to hormonal factors or changes in sleep patterns. As for your difficulty achieving full erection in a standing position during masturbation, it is possible that your body is simply adjusting to a new position. Position-dependent erections can occur due to changes in blood flow and muscle tension. Regarding the impact of porn and masturbation, excessive consumption of pornographic material and frequent masturbation can potentially lead to desensitization and performance anxiety. It is important to maintain a healthy balance and not rely solely on these activities for sexual satisfaction. If you continue to experience concerns about your erections, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
