I'm a 19-year-old guy and I've been masturbating for about six years, but lately, especially in the last year, I've been doing it more frequently. Now, I've noticed that my penis seems smaller than it used to be and I'm getting stressed about it. Is there a way to get my size back? Could too much masturbation affect my size? Would appreciate any advice or help.

Masturbation doesn't directly affect penis size, but frequent or aggressive masturbation can cause temporary swelling, bruising, or penile fatigue, creating an illusion of shrinkage; to alleviate concerns, consider reducing masturbation frequency, practicing gentle techniques, and focusing on overall physical and mental well-being, including exercise, healthy diet, and stress management.

I'm currently weighing 67 kg and have been on the AKT4 kit for about a month now, taking it every day. I recently went through the guidelines and noticed that the amounts of ethambutol and isoniazid I'm getting are lower than what's recommended for my weight. Specifically, it seems like my dose of ethambutol is 400 mg less and isoniazid is 300 mg less than what's suggested. Should I be worried about this affecting my treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in epididymitis?

It's important to follow the prescribed dosage for your condition, as the dosages in the AKT4 kit are typically based on standard treatment guidelines. Since your weight requires slightly higher doses of Ethambutol and Isoniazid, discuss this with your doctor to ensure the treatment is effective and adjusted for your needs.

While having sex, I've noticed random cuts on the skin of my penis, and my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be something serious? Sometimes we don't use protection. Also, I'm curious if there's a chance that kits might give incorrect results. Can you help with this?

The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist
