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.
