I'm really worried about the effects of over-masturbation. I've been dealing with early ejaculation, hair loss, semen leakage, fatigue, and weakness for the past five years. Can you tell me if these issues can be reversed and what steps I should take to improve my situation?

Over-masturbation itself doesn't directly cause severe health issues like hair loss, fatigue, or semen leakage, but anxiety or guilt around it can lead to stress, which might worsen these symptoms. Addressing underlying stress, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and seeking professional guidance can help improve your condition.

My father has been dealing with frequent urination and a burning sensation when he pees. We saw a doctor who recommended tests like Haemogram, CUE, PSA, HBA1C, and an ultrasound scan of the pelvis and abdomen. Everything looked fine except the PVR was 500ml. Now they've done a cystoscopy and are suggesting TURP surgery. Is this the right time to go for surgery, or should we wait and try more medications? Can this be managed with just medicines?

if conservative therapy fails ,TURP is advised.

I've been dealing with premature ejaculation and it's really starting to get to me. I'm looking for some advice on how I can manage this. Do you have any suggestions on what might help?

Premature ejaculation can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, counseling, and medical treatments. Techniques such as the "start-stop" method, pelvic exercises (Kegel exercises), and, if necessary, medications like SSRIs can be helpful. Consulting a healthcare provider for a personalized plan would be a good next step.
