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?

The swelling and sensitivity at the tip of your penis could be due to irritation, inflammation, or minor trauma from excessive or forceful masturbation; apply ice packs to reduce swelling, avoid further irritation

Question

I recently tried to have sex with my girlfriend, but after 20 minutes, I couldn't seem to get my penis into her vagina. We both gave it our best shot, but it just wouldn't go in. Normally, my penis gets hard, but when it came time to insert, it was small and not hard. What could be going on here?

Question

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this needle-like pain in my abdomen, mainly on the right side. I'm not sure if it's appendicitis or something else. One doctor mentioned it could be appendicitis, but another said it might just be gas. Also, I've been told I have a renal calculus that's 0.4 mm in size. What should I do next? Any advice would be great.

Question

I've been diagnosed with chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and urinary bladder wall thickening of 7mm. Are there any medications that can help treat these conditions or is surgery an option for prostatitis? Would surgery provide a permanent solution for these issues?
