I'm a bit worried because I used to have random and morning erections, which I assumed were normal, but for the past month they've stopped completely. I also feel like my sex drive has really decreased. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be a normal phase?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
It's not uncommon for sexual drive and erections to fluctuate due to factors like stress, lifestyle changes, or hormonal imbalances. However, if youve noticed a persistent decrease in libido and erectile function, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or other health conditions.

View allI'm having a bit of a concernlately, I've noticed that sperm is leaking while I'm asleep, and it happens about once every night. I'm really hoping to find a way to manage this without turning to medication. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I might be able to do about it?
Sperm leakage during sleep is a common issue known as nocturnal emissions or wet dreams. To help reduce the frequency of these occurrences, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress levels. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed may help. Avoiding stimulating activities before sleep, such as watching explicit content or consuming caffeine, can also be beneficial. It's important to establish a regular sleep routine and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If the issue persists or causes distress, it may be helpful to speak with a healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've been wondering about something and could really use some guidance. I'm 17 now, and I've been masturbating for around 2 years. Ive heard that semen contains zinc, and I'm worried if this could actually lower testosterone levels over time. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just a myth?
No, masturbation does not lower testosterone levels

I'm having trouble with the foreskin of my penis not retracting to expose the head, and I'm really concerned about keeping things hygienic. What could be causing this, and what can I do about it?
It sounds like you might be experiencing a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Gently stretching the foreskin over time may help, but if the problem persists, a doctor can recommend treatments such as topical steroids or, in some cases, a minor procedure. For hygiene, clean the area gently with warm water to avoid infections. Please consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
