I'm 16 and have been masturbating quite a bit, sometimes up to three times a day. I've noticed that the veins on my penis are becoming more pronounced and seem to be multiplying. Every day, a new vein seems to pop up, and a couple of them are really thick and very visible, even when I'm not aroused. Could you help me understand why this is happening?

I'm wondering about the safety of masturbating when I have a kidney urethral stent placed inside me. Could this cause any problems or issues with my stent or my health?

Urethral stent should not cause any problem during masturbation, although it may be best to avoid it for fear of damage to nearby structures.

I've heard some Muslim brothers get surgery on their penis for better sexual pleasure for their partner. Is that actually a thing? What does it involve and are there any risks or benefits I should know about?

Penile enhancement surgeries exist but lack medical consensus and carry risks like scarring or nerve damage; not typically recommended for pleasure alone.
