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.

my foreskin feels really tight and uncomfortable and i'm thinking about getting circumcision surgery to fix it is this the right option for me or are there other treatments i should try first

In severe cases of paraphimosis, circumcision may be recommended. In very severe cases, a lack of blood flow to the penis can cause tissue death (gangrene) and you may need surgery to remove the penis.

I'm noticing that my urine is always foamy and it only happens once every 20 minutes or so during the day. It even looks kind of like pus. Also, I sometimes get this pain on the right side of my abdomen. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Your symptoms, including foamy urine, frequent urination, pus-like appearance, and right abdominal pain, suggest a possible urinary tract infection (UTI), kidney stone, or other conditions like kidney disease, prostate issues, or interstitial cystitis; it's essential to consult a urologist or nephrologist
