I've been masturbating while lying down for a couple of years, and recently I found out it might be harmful to my penis. So, I stopped, but now I've noticed that my penis is curved to the right, and the color of the head has changed in some areas. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or will it naturally get better if I just stop masturbating?

It's good that you've stopped, but changes in the shape or color of your penis could indicate a condition that needs attention. A curved penis could be a sign of Peyronie's disease, and changes in color might suggest other concerns. It's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance on treatment.

I've been using candid B cream and taking itraconazole 200mg for balanoposthitis on my genitals. Is this the right treatment plan? I'm a bit worried if it's effective or if I should be doing something different.

I'm having this issue where every time I drink milk, about 10 or 20 minutes later, I have to pee and then it's like every 10 minutes after that, I feel this really strong urge to go again, sometimes like 3 or 4 times. It's pretty intense and I'm not sure if it's normal. Could this be something to worry about?

Your symptoms of frequent urination with full pressure after consuming milk may indicate lactose intolerance, as the body is unable to digest lactose, leading to increased water absorption and urine production; ry reducing or avoiding lactose-containing products or switching to lactose-free or low-lactose alternatives.

I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really curious about what's going on. I seem to need constant stimulation to keep an erection; otherwise, it goes away in about 10 seconds. I'm physically fit and have no problems with blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar levels. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this? Its just a bit worrying since everything else seems fine.
