I'm worried because my penis has suddenly gotten swollen, and I dont exactly know why. I was traveling on a bus last night, and this morning I noticed it was a bit swollen. Now, it seems to have gotten worse. There's been no sexual activity or anything else that could explain it. Could something have bitten me, and what should I do about it? Can you help me out with some advice?

I'm really curious about the effects of masturbating every day. I've seen mixed opinions online some say it's bad for you, while others seem to think its totally fine. Its confusing and Id love to get a clear answer on whether it's actually a problem or not. What's the right perspective on this?

Masturbating daily is generally not harmful for most people, as long as it doesnt interfere with daily life, relationships, or cause distress. However, if you feel it's becoming excessive or affecting your well-being, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm a bit concerned about having ejaculations during the night. Is this something normal, or could it signify a health issue? I'm curious if it might lead to any complications in the future.

No, nocturnal emissions (or "wet dreams") are a natural and normal occurrence, especially in younger individuals. They don't cause any harm or long-term problems, and there's no need for concern unless they're causing significant distress or affecting daily life.
