I'm wondering about the effects of masturbation on health. Is it generally good or bad? Also, if someone has been masturbating frequently over a long period, could that be harmful to their health? Just trying to understand if I should be concerned.

There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation is harmful to your health. If someone is experiencing any negative physical or emotional effects from excessive masturbation, it is important to address the underlying issues. It is recommended to maintain a balance in all aspects of life, including sexual activities. If you are experiencing any concerns related to masturbation or your sexual health, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I've recently noticed a small red spot on the head of my penis and under the skin that covers it. I was just diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and have started treatment. Should I be worried about these spots? Could they be related to the infection, or is this something separate I should be concerned about?

I have a bent penis and want to reduce the curvature permanently without surgery. Does homeopathy actually work for this or is it not effective?

Homeopathic remedies are not scientifically proven to effectively reduce penile curvature caused by Peyronie's disease. While some homeopathic practitioners may claim to have success, there is no strong evidence to support their effectiveness. Peyronie's disease is a condition where scar tissue (plaques) develops in the penis, causing curvature and pain.

I'm 28 and have been struggling with severe erection issues and low sperm count for the past 3 years. I had varicocele surgery on both testicles, but for the last year, there's been no movement in them. I also find it hard to start urinating, and the flow is very slow. My parents are looking for marriage proposals, and I'm really worried about my condition. Which specialist should I see for these problems?
