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've just got my urine test results back and it mentions something about PUS cells being 56 hpf. My doctor said it's a UTI. What should I be doing to treat it, and is there anything I should be worried about?
For a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) diagnosis with 5-6 pus cellshpf, your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics, such as Nitrofurantoin, Ciprofloxacin, or Amoxicillin, for 3-7 days to clear the infection; also, drink plenty of water, urinate when needed, and practice good hygiene; potential risk factors if left untreated include kidney damage, recurrent infections, and sepsis, so complete the full antibiotic course and follow up

I'm really curious about something and a bit worried. Does precum actually contain sperm, or does urination completely clear any leftover sperm from the urethra? I've heard different things and just want to understand better because it's kind of confusing. Can you help clarify this for me?
Excessive vomiting during pregnancy can be concerning. Consider the following: - Consult your doctor about prescription anti-emetics like Zofran or Metoclopramide. - Try ginger-based products like ginger tea, ginger ale, or ginger candies. - Eat small, frequent meals to avoid overwhelming your stomach. - Avoid spicy or fatty foods that can trigger vomiting. - Rest and stay hydrated by sipping water or electrolyte-rich drinks. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience: - Severe dehydration - Blood in vomit - Fever above 101.5F (38.6C)
