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 curious about how I can make my penis muscles stronger. Do Kegel exercises help with that, or should I focus on other physical exercises too? I want to know which exercises are the most effective for strengthening those muscles.
To strengthen the penis muscles, focus on exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegel exercises, which involve contracting and releasing the muscles that stop urine flow; other beneficial exercises include pelvic tilts, bridges, and squats; additionally, physical exercises like weightlifting, running, and swimming can improve overall cardiovascular health and blood flow, which can also benefit penis health; remember to also practice good lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.

I've just been told I have a small prostatic cyst that's about 6mm. Should I be worried about this? What's the typical treatment for something like this?
A 6mm prostatic cyst is generally considered small and may not be a cause for concern, as 5-8% of men have small prostatic cysts. However, it's essential to monitor it, as larger cysts can cause complications like urinary tract infections, hematuria, and voiding dysfunction. Treatment options vary depending on symptoms and cyst size. Small, asymptomatic cysts may not require treatment, while larger or symptomatic cysts may need surgical excision, transurethral cyst catheterization, or other non-surgical interventions.
