I've been worried because back when I was a teenager, I was really into musterbation and didn't realize it could be harmful. Now I'm dealing with low sperm count and erectile dysfunction, and I'm concerned because my penis veins seem lifeless. Plus, there's always this watery discharge when I'm erect. I went to the doctor, and they said my sperm count is only 10 million. What should I do?
