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 28 and have been struggling with severe erection issues and low sperm count for the past 3 years. I had varicocele surgery on both testicles, but for the last year, there's been no movement in them. I also find it hard to start urinating, and the flow is very slow. My parents are looking for marriage proposals, and I'm really worried about my condition. Which specialist should I see for these problems?

I'm 22 and I've been dealing with ejaculation during sleep for the past 45 days. I know it's pretty common, but this has been happening continuously. I usually masturbate once a week or maybe twice a month, and when I do, it's about 3 to 4 times in one go. But I haven't done that for around 15 to 20 days now. Is this normal, or should I be worried?

I'm wondering if masturbating too much can cause impotence. I can only get an erection when something is being done to my penis, and I have a hard time keeping it up. I can ejaculate though. I watch porn and get aroused, and I keep fit by going to the gym every day. I don't have any other health problems, so should I be worried?
