I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that does not cause infertility or affect your ability to have children in the future. If you have concerns about fertility, focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a doctor for reassurance or further guidance.

I'm dealing with this weird issue where the skin on my penis is really sticky and itchy. Its also a bit painful when I try to pull it back. Theres this sticky, white stuff on the head that looks kind of like dried semen, but I know its not. It's been about three days now and while it doesn't mess with my erections or passing urine, it's pretty uncomfortable. What could be going on and how should I treat it?

You may be experiencing symptoms of balanitis, which is inflammation of the foreskin and head of the penis. To help relieve the symptoms of itching and pain, you can try using an antifungal cream such as Clotrimazole (Canesten) twice a day on the affected area. Additionally, keeping the area clean and dry, and avoiding harsh soaps or irritants can also help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to see a doctor for further evaluation and treatment.

A 6.7 mm renal stone with mild PCS fullness may pass with hydration, analgesics, and medical expulsive therapy, but close monitoring is essential.
