I've been using delay spray for the past 7-8 years to help with PE, but I haven't really paid attention to the instructions all that time. Now my partner and I are trying for a baby and there's a chance we might have conceived, but nothing is confirmed yet. I'm just worried if the delay spray could have any effects on conceiving or on the embryo or fetus that's developing. Could it be a potential issue?

Delay sprays typically contain local anesthetics like lidocaine or benzocaine, which are generally considered safe for external use in small amounts. However, prolonged or excessive use could potentially affect sperm motility. Its advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially when trying to conceive.

I'm feeling really weak and my bones just feel fragile. This has been going on for about 8 months now, and lately, I've noticed tremors in my hands. I can hardly hold my phone without my hands starting to ache. I've struggled with over-masturbation for nearly 78 years and every time I do it, I feel like it just makes everything worse. I've tried to stop, but nightfall seems to exacerbate things. I've gone ahead and gotten a bunch of tests done like checking my Vitamin D, Calcium, Uric Acid, and CRP, and they all came back normal. I'm pretty sure this is all linked to the masturbation problem. Could you help me figure out what's going on and suggest some solutions? I'm really worried and would appreciate your guidance.
