Question 1

Im dealing with depression and I'm really struggling because I'm stuck in this cycle of masturbating about 45 times a day. It makes me feel awful, and I just can't seem to stop. I'm in 12th grade, preparing for my board exams in science but my focus is shot, and I feel exhausted and sleepy all the time, which isnt helping at all at this critical stage. I know I need help, but I'm not sure how to approach my parents about it. What kind of doctor should I be reaching out to for this situation?

Question 2

I'm masturbating daily and I'm a bit worried about whether this frequency might affect my sperm count. Plus, I've noticed I've got quite a few pimples on my face. I'm wondering if there might be a connection between masturbation and acne. Could you g...

Accepted Answer

Masturbating once a day is considered a normal and healthy frequency; research suggests that frequent ejaculation, including masturbation, may not significantly impact sperm count or fertility in healthy males; however, excessive masturbation (multiple times a day) may lead to temporary decreased sperm count, but this effect is reversible; regarding pimples, there is no direct scientific link between masturbation and acne

Question 3

I'm feeling a bit confused about who to see for issues with erectile dysfunction. Should I be looking for a urologist or is an andrologist the right specialist? What's the actual difference between the two?

Accepted Answer

Mild splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can coexist, but it's unclear if the enlarged spleen is directly causing your digestive issues.

_Possible connections:_

1. *Splenic flexure syndrome*: An enlarged spleen can put pressure on the splenic flexure (a part of the colon), leading to digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements.
2. *Immune system imbalance*: The spleen plays a role in immune function. An enlarged spleen might contribute to immune system imbalances, which could exacerbate IBS symptoms.
3. *Inflammation*: Splenomegaly can be associated with chronic inflammation, which might worsen IBS symptoms.

_However, it's essential to note:_

1. *IBS is a complex condition*: IBS has multiple factors contributing to its development, including gut motility, hypersensitivity, and psychological factors.
2. *Mild splenomegaly might not be the primary cause*: Your IBS symptoms might be unrelated to the enlarged spleen, or the spleen might be only one of several contributing factors.

Question 4

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. I can pull it back when I'm semi-erect, but not when I'm fully erect. Is this something I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

Phimosis is a condition where the foreskin can't be pulled back from the head of the penis.A steroid cream is usually tried first. Surgery is then recommended if the cream doesn't work.

Question 5

I've just turned 17 and I've never really tried masturbating before, but I've had a few instances of night fall, and I'm kind of wondering if that's normal. Is there something wrong with me because of this?

Accepted Answer

Nightfall, also known as nocturnal emission, is a normal and common occurrence in adolescent males, especially during puberty, and it's not necessarily related to masturbation; as long as you're not experiencing other symptoms like pain, difficulty urinating, or excessive frequency, there's likely no cause for concern, but if you're worried, consider speaking with a healthcare provider or a trusted adult for guidance.

Question 6

I'm doing daily masturbation and I'm wondering if it could affect anything health-wise. Are there any side effects I should be worried about? Would appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

Masturbation is a normal and healthy sexual activity. It does not cause any physical harm or have any long-term side effects. However, excessive masturbation can lead to temporary genital irritation. It is important to maintain a balance and listen to your body's needs. If you experience any discomfort, you can use over-the-counter creams like Calamine lotion to soothe the irritation.
