I've been feeling really off because of this sensitivity issue with my penis after I masturbate. I hit it up and down, and then for days, it gets all tender and sore, coming and going. It's uncomfortable and bums me out. I'm uncircumcised, and a couple of days after masturbating, I touched and pressed the erect penis, and it got super sensitive where I hit it. Now, there's like a pain and itchiness where I pressed it. I couldn't pull back the foreskin completely until I was 11, but there wasn't any infection. Walking and running can feel really uncomfortable. Do you think this will go away on its own? Would love some advice.

It sounds like you may have experienced temporary sensitivity or soreness from friction or pressure during masturbation, especially around the foreskin area. This can cause discomfort and irritation, but it usually resolves with rest and avoiding further pressure or friction. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's a good idea to see a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and to rule out any underlying issues.

My father was just diagnosed with 179cc prostate and had a sudden urine blockage so they put in a catheter. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?

With a large prostate (179cc) and sudden urinary blockage, treatment for your father will likely involve a combination of medication and potentially surgery. While medication, like alpha-blockers, can help relax muscles in the urinary tract and improve urine flow, the size of the prostate and the sudden blockage suggest surgery might be necessary

Is it fine if I'm masturbating twice a week while I'm also working out pretty intensely? I'm a bit worried if this could have any impact on my muscle gains.

Yes, masturbating twice a week is perfectly normal and won't affect your muscle gains. Intense workouts and muscle growth depend on proper nutrition, rest, and consistent training. As long as you're maintaining these, occasional masturbation has no significant impact on your fitness progress.
