I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?

Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.

I've been having this issue for a couple of months now where my penis has lost its sensitivity, and I am not feeling any pleasure from things that used to excite me visually or in real life. Although I can still get an erection when I masturbate, it's like I can't get a strong erection at any other time, sometimes only semi-hard. I started noticing this after doing some jelqing exercises, when suddenly everything felt off, so I stopped. There's this vein under my penis that's turned reddish, too. I usually masturbate only every 7 to 10 days. I'm unmarried and unemployed, and I'm really worried about this. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get back to how things were before?
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. It sounds like you may be dealing with some nerve sensitivity issues or vascular changes, possibly triggered by excessive or improper exercise. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional, such as a urologist, who can conduct a thorough evaluation and guide you on appropriate treatments or lifestyle adjustments to restore normal function.

I've been dealing with kidney stones and got prescribed antibiotics, codeine, and paracetamol. It's been 5 days, and I still haven't had a bowel movement. Is it alright if I take something like senokot to help with this? I'm a bit worried about this situation.
Topical Treatments* 1. *Steroid creams*: Apply topical steroid creams (e.g., betamethasone or triamcinolone) to reduce inflammation and promote skin elasticity. 2. *Vitamin E oil*: Massage vitamin E oil into the affected area to promote skin health and elasticity. 3. *Tea tree oil*: Apply diluted tea tree oil (3-5%) to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. *Pharmaconutritional Treatments* 1. *Vitamin D supplements*: Ensure adequate vitamin D levels, as deficiencies can contribute to phimosis. 2. *Omega-3 fatty acids*: Consume omega-3 rich foods or supplements to reduce inflammation and promote skin health. *Additional Recommendations* 1. *Gentle manual stretching*: Continue gentle manual stretching of the foreskin, ideally with a lubricant, to promote elasticity and retractability. 2. *Warm baths*: Regular warm baths can help relax the skin and promote retractability. 3. *Consult a healthcare professional*: Schedule regular follow-ups with a healthcare professional to monitor progress and adjust treatment as needed. *Important Notes* 1. *Circumcision may be necessary*: If phimosis persists or worsens, circumcision may be required to prevent complications. 2. *Infection risk*: Monitor for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, and seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.
