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.

View allI've been noticing something worrying with my intimate health lately. My penis starts off firm, but after a while, it becomes a bit softer, even if I haven't ejaculated yet. I'm feeling a bit embarrassed about this situation. Is there anything I can do to get it back to how it used to be? I dont have any health problems, and I exercise regularly. Any advice would be appreciated!
It's understandable that you're feeling concerned, but this can sometimes happen due to stress, fatigue, or even mental factors like performance anxiety, even if youre physically healthy. Its important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, reduce stress, and communicate openly with your partner. If it continues, consulting with a healthcare professional may help address any underlying causes.

I've done a semen culture, and they found klebsiella pneumoniae ssp pneumoniae. My doctor is saying I should take gentamicin 80mg, but I've read online about a bunch of side effects. I'm worried and not sure if I should go ahead with this injection. Can you give me some advice?
Gentamicin is a suitable treatment option for Klebsiella pneumoniae infections, considering its broad-spectrum antibiotic properties.

I've noticed a lump under my testicles for the past few days. It's not really painful, but if I play or masturbate, I start feeling a dull ache in my testicles. When I touch it, the lump doesn't feel very hard, more like a worm-like structure. Also, sometimes my scrotum feels heavy and looks like it's hanging lower on one side. What could this be?

No improvement with Zytee gel application for 3 days _Concerns about oral cancer:_ 1. _Unlikely to be oral cancer_: Most oral cancers are painful, grow rapidly, and are associated with other symptoms like difficulty swallowing, numbness, or bleeding. 2. _More likely a traumatic or infectious ulcer_: Given the location and your history of broken teeth and dental issues, the ulcer might be caused by trauma (e.g., biting your tongue) or infection. _Recommended steps:_ 1. _Consult a dentist or oral surgeon_: Schedule an appointment to evaluate the ulcer and your dental issues. 2. _Biopsy (if necessary)_: If the dentist suspects something unusual, they might recommend a biopsy to rule out oral cancer. 3. _Treatment for the ulcer_: Your dentist might prescribe antibiotics or antifungal medications, depending on the cause of the ulcer. 4. _Address dental issues_: Get your broken teeth and dental issues treated to prevent further complications. _Oral cancer screening:_ 1. _Regular dental check-ups_: Visit your dentist regularly for oral cancer screenings, especially if you have a history of tobacco use, heavy drinking, or a family history of oral cancer.
