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 really worried because I've noticed that my ejaculation force has been very weak when I masturbate, and it's been happening for a couple of months now. I've also seen a decrease in the amount of semen. I'm 29, 5'5" in height, and weigh 63 kg. I don't have any medical issues and I'm not married. Can you please help me understand what might be going on and how I can fix it?
