Question 1

I've been wondering about a couple of things and I'm a bit concerned. I'm 24 and I've noticed that my penis size is less than 2 cm when not erect, and about 11 cm when it is erect. Should I be worried about this? Also, when I masturbate, I usually ejaculate within one minute, and I do this about twice a week. Is this something I should be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Penis size can vary among individuals and what you have described is within the normal range. There is no need to be concerned about the size difference.  Ejaculating quickly during masturbation is a common issue known as premature ejaculation. To help with this issue, you can try using medications like Dapoxetine. Practicing techniques like the start-stop method or the squeeze technique may also be helpful.

Question 2

I'm wondering if having a habit of daily masturbation is good or bad for me. How do I control or stop it if it's not a healthy practice? Are there any harms associated with it?

Accepted Answer

Daily masturbation can be a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive or compulsive masturbation can lead to negative effects such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, guilt, shame, and neglect of responsibilities; to control or stop, try setting boundaries, practicing self-control, engaging in alternative activities, and seeking professional help if needed.

Question 3

I've been masturbating since I was 15 and I'm 17 now. I've heard that it might lower zinc and testosterone levels, and it's really got me anxious. Could you please tell me if that's actually true?

Accepted Answer

Masturbation does not decrease zinc or testosterone levels significantly. It is a normal and healthy activity. To maintain healthy levels of zinc and testosterone, you can include zinc-rich foods in your diet such as oysters, beef, and nuts. If you have concerns about your testosterone levels, you can consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 4

I'm really worried because after having sex with my girlfriend a few days ago, I've noticed something strange. There's this muscle or bump that's appeared on the top back part of my penis. It's been bothering me so much that I haven't been able to sl...

Accepted Answer

An empty endometrial cavity on an abdominal ultrasound typically indicates that there is no pregnancy.

However, it's essential to consider other factors, such as:

The timing of the ultrasound (early pregnancy might not be visible)
Your menstrual cycle and last period
Any symptoms you're experiencing

Consult your doctor or the radiologist who performed the ultrasound to discuss your results and determine the next steps.

Question 5

I've noticed that sometimes when I'm running or working out, I get a bit of pre-cum leaking. I'm a 23-year-old guy and it's not happening every time, but still enough to make me concerned. Can you help me understand what's going on and if I should be...

Accepted Answer

The pre-cum leakage during running or workout is likely due to increased blood flow and physical stimulation, which can cause involuntary seminal emissions; consider wearing snug-fitting underwear or athletic supporters to reduce friction and pressure, and if the issue persists, consult a urologist or healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions like overactive bladder or prostate issues.

Question 6

I'm worried about the side effects of taking birth control pills. How long after taking them can I find out if I'm pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Common adverse effects of contraceptive pills include nausea, breast tenderness, mood changes, weight gain, and increased risk of blood clots, stroke, and high blood pressure; to confirm pregnancy, a home pregnancy test (HPT) can detect hCG hormone levels 7-10 days after conception, with accuracy increasing 2-3 days after a missed period, while a blood test can detect pregnancy 6-8 days after conception.
