I'm wondering if having a habit of daily masturbation is good or bad for me. How do I control or stop it if it's not a healthy practice? Are there any harms associated with it?

Daily masturbation can be a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive or compulsive masturbation can lead to negative effects such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, guilt, shame, and neglect of responsibilities; to control or stop, try setting boundaries, practicing self-control, engaging in alternative activities, and seeking professional help if needed.

There are no medications that directly treat varicoceles themselves. However, some medications can help manage pain and discomfort associated with the condition.

I'm dealing with a problem related to my penis. When it gets erect, the foreskin tends to fit tightly just below the top. I've been considering circumcision to remove some of the foreskin.
