I'm really into fitness and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular gym workouts and a balanced diet. But I'm kind of worried about something that I haven't found a clear answer for. Does masturbation more than twice a week have any negative effects on my health? And if I do it on consecutive days, is that harmful in any way? Just trying to understand if it's affecting my fitness journey or overall health in any way.

I've noticed that my penis size seems to have shrunk from 6 inches to about 5 inches, and I'm really concerned. I've gained around 7 kgs recently, and I also drink a few times a week. I quit smoking regularly about two months ago but used to smoke a lot before. Could these changes be affecting my size and stamina? What kind of diet or lifestyle changes should I consider to maybe get back to my original size and boost my stamina?

What are the other ways to treat phimosis without surgery and does the surgical option hurt a lot

Phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract, can be treated without surgery with topical steroid creams and stretching exercises. Surgical options, like circumcision, are also available, and while pain is possible, it's often mild to moderate and manageable with pain relief.
