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 dealing with really bad body pain because I keep having nightfall every week. Plus, I'm hitting the gym and taking a mass gainer. Can you tell me what I can do to get rid of this pain now and prevent it in the future?

I had a boil on my penile shaft and I popped it, but I'm still feeling pain there. Now there's also another pain that started just above the penis on the right side near the bladder area. I'm really worried about this. What could be going on?

After popping a boil on your penile shaft, persistent pain, along with new pain near the urinary bladder area, may indicate a potential infection, abscess, or inflammation of the surrounding tissues; it's essential to consult a urologist or a dermatologist promptly to assess the situation, as untreated infections can lead to more severe complications, such as cellulitis, epididymitis, or prostatitis; expect a physical examination, potentially followed by diagnostic tests like urine analysis, ultrasound, or imaging studies to determine the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
