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 27 and have mullerian duct syndrome with bilateral ovo testis, a small uterus, no vagina or cervix, but full male genitalia and 46XY chromosomes. Is it possible to surgically bring the testes down into the scrotum? Also, can the uterus be removed without losing my testes or testosterone production?

I've been feeling my testicles getting hot most of the time, especially when I'm sitting. There's no itching or redness, just this warmth that's got me a bit worried. I've only been married for about 2.5 months. Could this be something serious, or is it just a normal thing?

sounds like you may be experiencing some discomfort in your testicles. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as increased blood flow, inflammation, or infection. Since you mentioned no itching or redness, it is less likely to be a fungal infection. Additionally, wearing loose-fitting underwear and avoiding prolonged sitting may also help alleviate the symptoms. If the discomfort persists or worsens, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
