I've got this painful issue that started this morning. So, I went to pee, and I sneezed at the same time without realizing it. Immediately, I felt this intense pain, like I might've stretched something in my urethra, but there's no bleeding. Now, whenever I try to pee, it really hurts at first. Oddly, if I pee slowly and let out just a little at a time, the pain isn't as bad. I'm 24, and I've never had any major health problems before. What could be going on here?

The sudden pain while urinating, especially after sneezing, may indicate a possible urethral strain or irritation. Since you're experiencing pain while peeing, especially at the beginning, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.

Possible Causes

  1. Urethral strain or irritation
  2. Urinary tract infection (UTI)
  3. Urethral spasms
  4. Pelvic floor muscle strain

Next Steps

  1. Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a urologist.
  2. Provide detailed information about your symptoms, including the sneezing incident.
  3. Get a physical examination and possibly some diagnostic tests (e.g., urinalysis, ultrasound) to rule out underlying conditions.

In the meantime:

  1. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
  2. Avoid spicy or acidic foods that might irritate your urethra.
  3. Urinate when you feel the need, rather than holding it in.

I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?

It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.

Im really struggling with trying to stop my masturbation habit. It feels like theres just so much hormonal activity going on thats pushing me to do it. Im dealing with these intense sexual feelings every day, and Im looking for some advice on how to manage or lessen them. Are there any ways I can mitigate any negative effects that this habit might have on me?

It's great that you're seeking to manage this. Excessive sexual urges can often be controlled by staying active, practicing mindfulness, and redirecting focus to hobbies, exercise, or productive activities. Speaking to a counselor or doctor can also help address underlying causes and guide you through strategies for healthier habits.

I've been masturbating about two or three times a week, and I'm worried if this could lead to impotency. I feel like my penis isn't as big as it was when I was 18, especially when it's flaccid. I can see nerves on it and also on the back of my hands. Does this mean Im getting weaker or is it normal? Am I doing it too often? Could this increase my risk of diabetes, because my mom has it?

Diabetes occur through hereditary also but not all the cases,and masturbation does not lead to impotent
