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 an issue where sperm seems to leak automatically when I'm urinating or even when I'm sleeping, and it's happening without any erection. This has got me feeling really down, and I'm not sure what to do. My penis also feels quite loose and this is adding to my worry. For context, I used to masturbate regularly since I was 16 but stopped around 3 months ago, and I'm 28 years old now. Can you help me figure this out?

It sounds like you're experiencing concerns related to spontaneous semen leakage and changes in your sexual health. This could be linked to factors like sexual health, hormonal balance, or stress, especially after prolonged masturbation. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss appropriate steps, such as lifestyle changes or treatments, to help you manage this issue effectively.

I've had this issue where I accidentally cut my penis somehow last week, maybe with my nail or a zipper, and now there's a scab on it. It's about a centimeter long and hurts when I touch it. What should I do?

It sounds like you may have a minor wound on your penis. To help with healing and prevent infection, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin to the affected area twice a day. Keep the area clean and dry, and avoid any further trauma to the area. If the pain persists or if you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, or discharge, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
