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.

My penis has been bleeding when I pee, and I'm really worried. About ten days ago, I had really intense sex twice, and there was bleeding on that day, February 10th. The bleeding stopped that day, but after that, I just felt a lot of pain in my penis. Then yesterday, out of nowhere, there was bleeding again, especially at the end when I was trying to urinate, and it was super painful. I couldnt handle it at all. I'm really stressed out about what's going on. Could you suggest what I should do?

The bleeding and pain during urination, especially after intense sexual activity, may indicate a urethral injury, urethritis, or a sexually transmitted infection (STI); immediately seek medical attention from a urologist or a healthcare provider to rule out any serious conditions; in the meantime, drink plenty of water, avoid sex, and apply a warm compress to the affected area to alleviate discomfort; delaying medical attention can lead to further complications, so prioritize your health and seek help as soon as possible.

I'm really worried because the foreskin on my penis feels super tight. It can move down when my penis isn't erect, but once I get an erection, it just won't retract. When I try to push it back, it feels like it's going to tear because it can't stretch any more. I even tried pulling it down when not erect and then getting an erection with the foreskin already down, but it resulted in pain. What if this condition persists until I'm ready to have sex? Can you guide me on what to do?

Circumcision may be recommended by a healthcare provider. This is a minor surgical procedure where the foreskin is removed, and it is often an effective treatment for severe cases of phimosis. It is important to address this issue before engaging in sexual activity to prevent any potential pain or complications. If you have persistent concerns or the condition does not improve with conservative measures, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
