I'm really into sex and usually have a great time, but I've noticed that after the first round, it takes me more than 5 hours to get an erection again. It's starting to worry me. Any advice on what might be going on or how I can improve this?

It's normal for recovery time after sex (the refractory period) to vary between individuals, and it may lengthen with age or fatigue. Staying hydrated, reducing stress, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help. If the issue persists, consult a doctor to rule out hormonal or circulation-related concerns.

I'm 24 and have been experiencing some issues due to over-masturbation, like lower erection, semen leakage, and fatigue. I also find it hard to concentrate, and I feel like my strength is decreasing, which is messing with my mental state. I'm thinking about trying kohinoor gold plus and shilajit capsules to help with these side effects. Do you think they could be effective for someone in my situation?

No dont use such medicines without advice,visit Psychiatrist for appropriate management

I have multiple cysts on my testis, including three larger ones and many smaller ones. Is there any treatment option besides surgery? Also, how can I confirm if these are actually cysts or something else what tests would be needed for that?

Yes, there are some treatment options for multiple testicular cysts besides surgery, and several tests can help confirm the diagnosis. Initially, an ultrasound of the scrotum is a good first step. In some cases, aspiration (draining the fluid) or percutaneous sclerotherapy (killing the cyst cells with an injection) might be options. Surgical removal is usually reserved for larger cysts or those causing pain or other complications

Why do I ejaculate so soon?

The average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes. If it happens before 1 minute then it's usually considered as pre mature ejaculation which has many reasons.
