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'm really worried because I'm dealing with pain in the area between my testicles and rectum. I've noticed it's swollen, and when I touch it, the pain gets worse. Can you tell me what might be going on or what I should do to help it?

It sounds like you may have an infection or inflammation, such as **epididymitis** or **prostatitis**, which could explain the pain and swelling. I recommend avoiding pressure on the area, using warm compresses for relief, and consulting a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics.

my son had hypospadias surgery and we've been in the hospital for 8 days now today i noticed a little wetness on the outer dressing could this cause any issues

A small amount of wetness on the outer dressing after hypospadias surgery is usually normal, but it's important to monitor for any signs of infection or excessive bleeding. If the wetness is limited and not accompanied by other concerning symptoms, it might just be residual fluid or a small amount of bleeding, which is expected in the first few days after surgery. However, if the wetness is excessive, there's a foul odor, or if your son has a fever, redness, or increased pain around the incision, it could indicate an infection and you should contact his healthcare provider immediately.
