I'm trying to understand my urine test results and could use some guidance. The report mentions occasional epithelial cells and pus cells with a specific gravity of 1.010. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if it's necessary to start taking Martifur 100mg. Could you please advise on what I should do next?

I've always been really good at sex, but over the last ten years, I've been masturbating at least 3 to 6 times a day. I used to be able to perform 6 times a night, but now, even though I still masturbate daily, I find myself ejaculating too early, like within 15 seconds during sex. It's been getting worse, and I feel weaker when it comes to sex. What should I do about this?
