I'm 27 and I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, my penis gets really tight, but when I'm having sex with my girlfriend, it doesn't seem to get as tight. It's got me super worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?

It's normal for the penis to feel firmer or tighter during masturbation due to different levels of arousal and muscle contraction. During sex, the physical and emotional dynamics are different, which can affect how the penis feels. If you're concerned, consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further reassurance.

I'm experiencing nocturnal emissions around 23 times a month, and I think it might be linked to gas in my rectum. What can I do to address this issue?

Nocturnal emissions (nighttime ejaculation) occurring 2-3 times a month are generally considered normal and not a cause for concern. However, if it's linked to discomfort like gas in the rectum, improving digestion by managing your diet, staying hydrated, and incorporating regular physical activity can help. If the issue persists or worsens, consulting a healthcare provider for further evaluation would be beneficial.

I'm Jonas Markus, and I'm 17 years old. Lately, I've been having this weird health issue that I'm hoping you can help with. Every morning, my pee is orange and it burns. But after the morning, it goes back to being yellow and doesn't burn at all. Plus, I'm feeling some discomfort in my lower abdomen, just above my genitals. When I press on my lower abdomen, it seems like theres a vibration, kind of like gases moving around. Is this normal, or could it be an infection?

That could be due to dehydration or it could be UTI also,take Cital UTI syrup 10ml three times in a day for 5 days and consume more water,if its still bothering you visit physician for evaluation and appropriate management.
