I'm a bit concerned because my penis is 13.5 cm, and I'm wondering if that's considered small. Sometimes I feel like I need to masturbate to avoid the constant urge for an erection. Could this be a problem?

A penis size of 13.5 cm is within the normal range, and there's no cause for concern. Masturbation can be a natural outlet for sexual urges, but if you feel discomfort or pressure to engage in it, it's important to address any underlying concerns and maintain a balanced approach to your sexual health. If you ever feel unsure or anxious about your body, it might help to talk to a healthcare provider.

View allI'm having some trouble with my foreskin when my penis is erect. The head is fully visible, but the foreskin seems a bit attached to the backside of the head and won't fully retract down the shaft. It's making me a little concerned. What should I do about this?
Thats normal for everyone thats called frenulum of foreskin ,unless its creating any problem ,no need to worry.

I'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.
Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

Is there a permanent treatment for urethral stricture or can it be cured without surgery? If surgery is needed, which procedure has the best success rate?
Urethroplasty, a reconstructive surgery, is generally considered the most effective and permanent treatment for urethral stricture. It involves removing the scarred tissue and reconstructing the urethra, aiming for a lasting solution. While some less invasive options like dilation or internal urethrotomy exist, they often have lower success rates and higher recurrence rates.
