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?

My father has been dealing with frequent urination and a burning sensation when he pees. We saw a doctor who recommended tests like Haemogram, CUE, PSA, HBA1C, and an ultrasound scan of the pelvis and abdomen. Everything looked fine except the PVR was 500ml. Now they've done a cystoscopy and are suggesting TURP surgery. Is this the right time to go for surgery, or should we wait and try more medications? Can this be managed with just medicines?

if conservative therapy fails ,TURP is advised.

I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to naturally remove the foreskin on the penis. Is it possible to make the foreskin more elastic through natural methods? I've been wondering if there are any safe ways to approach this without resorting to surgery. Any advice would be really appreciated.

My pee hole got torn and it's not healing even though there's no pain. Should I see a sexologist or get penis surgery to fix this? It's been like this for a while and I'm worried it won't heal on its own.

would need a picture and an examination
