I'm a 28-year-old male, and I started masturbating at 15. Now, I notice that my gonads and penis seem small, and my testosterone levels are 450 ng/dl, which I found online is considered low and could be a sign of hypogonadism. Ive been experiencing some symptoms like premature ejaculation, low muscle mass, mood swings, low self-confidence, and hair thinning. I recently visited a doctor for hair loss, and she prescribed Dutasteride, but now Im unsure whether to take it since I suspect my testosterone might be low. Is 450 ng/dl low? If it is, whats the treatment testosterone replacement therapy or something else? How can I address these issues?

Concerns about low testosterone and masturbation impact:_Testosterone levels:_450 ng/dL is considered within the normal range (300-1000 ng/dL) for a male aged 28._Hypogonadism:_Unlikely, given normal testosterone levels._Masturbation impact:_No scientific evidence links masturbation to:1. Gonad/penis size reduction2. Low testosterone_Symptoms:_May be related to other factors, such as:1. Stress2. Anxiety3. Poor lifestyle habits4. Sleep deprivation_Dutasteride:_For hair loss, Dutasteride can help. However, it may affect testosterone levels. Monitor your testosterone levels while taking Dutasteride._Treatment options:_1. Address lifestyle factors:- Exercise regularly- Balanced diet- Stress management- Adequate sleep2. Consult a urologist or endocrinologist for:- Hormone level re-evaluation- Premature ejaculation treatment3. Consider cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for:- Mood swings- Low self-confidence_Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT):_Not recommended unless testosterone levels are consistently below 300 ng/dL.

Ive been masturbating once a week for the past 8 years, but recently, for the last 4 months, every time I do, I get itching all over my body, especially on my face, chest, stomach, and thighs. It used to last only a day, but now it stays for a week or even longer. What could be causing this, and what should I do about it?

My cousin recently had penile discharge, and the doctor confirmed it was an STD. He took the prescribed medicines, and the infection cleared up, but hes still noticing a very small amount of discharge, which is making him uncomfortable. He wants to get tested for STDs (not HIV) in Pune but isnt sure where to go. Can you suggest a reliable place for testing?

I'm glad to hear that your cousin has completed the treatment for the STD and the infection has cleared up. However, the persistent penile discharge, although minimal, can be uncomfortable and concerning.To address this issue, I recommend the following steps:Diagnostic Tests1. Urine Test: A urine test can help identify any underlying bacterial infections, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea.2. Urethral Swab: A urethral swab can help detect any bacterial or fungal infections that may be causing the discharge.STD Testing Centers in PuneHere are some reputable testing centers in Pune where your cousin can get tested:1. National AIDS Research Institute (NARI): A government-funded institute that offers free STD testing, including HIV.- Address: 73, G Block, MIDC, Bhosari, Pune - 411026- Phone: 020-271210242. Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) STD Clinic: Offers free STD testing and treatment.- Address: Pune Municipal Corporation, Main Building, Shivajinagar, Pune - 411005- Phone: 020-255010003. Private Labs: Your cousin can also visit private labs like Dr. Lal PathLabs, SRL Diagnostics, or Metropolis Healthcare.- These labs usually offer a range of STD testing options, including bacterial and fungal infections.Pre-Test PreparationBefore visiting any testing center, it's essential to:1. Abstain from urination: For at least 2-3 hours before the test to ensure accurate results.2. Avoid using antibiotics or antiseptics: For at least 24 hours before the test to prevent interference with test results.Post-Test CareAfter the test, your cousin should:1. Follow the doctor's advice: Based on the test results, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics or other treatments.2. Practice good hygiene: To prevent the spread of infection, your cousin should maintain good genital hygiene and use condoms during sexual intercourse.

Hi doctor, Ive been experiencing some tingling in my penile nerves, and theres no trauma or abnormal findings in my blood reports. Im wondering if it could be related to frequent or intense masturbation. Also, I feel a burning sensation at the tip of my penis after urinating, but only before I go. I tend to watch porn a lot before this happens. Can this heal on its own, or is there something specific I should do? Im feeling really depressed about it and could really use some guidance. The doctor prescribed me tricyclic antidepressants for 3 months, but Ive only taken them for 2 months. Can these medications help with the symptoms Im experiencing?

It is possible that the tingling sensation in your penile nerves, along with the burning sensation at the tip of the penis before urination, could be related to nerve irritation or inflammation. This could be aggravated by frequent or vigorous masturbation. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking Vitamin B complex supplements, which can support nerve health. Additionally, you can apply a topical numbing cream containing lidocaine to the tip of the penis to help with the burning sensation. As for the tricyclic antidepressants you were prescribed, they can sometimes be used to help manage nerve-related pain. However, it is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. Since you have only taken the medication for 2 months out of the recommended 3 months, it may be beneficial to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed. It is also important to practice good genital hygiene, avoid any activities that worsen your symptoms, and give your body time to heal naturally. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management

Hi, Ive been dealing with a few health issues and Im worried they might be connected. Ive had a habit of over-masturbation, and now Im experiencing lower back pain, eye strain, irregular sleep patterns, hair loss, and a sensitive scalp with small boils and slight pain. Theres also this whitish substance in my armpit. My groin and pelvic area feel cramped too. While my erections seem normal, I havent been getting morning erections, and I dont feel the same level of orgasm as before during masturbation. Could you help me understand whats going on and what I should do?

You may be experiencing symptoms related to over masturbation. To address these issues, I recommend the following: 1. Lower back pain and strain in eyes: You can take acetaminophen for pain relief and use lubricating eye drops for eye strain. 2. Abnormal sleep patterns: Consider practicing good sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques before bed. 3. Whitish substance in armpit and scalp, sensitive scalp, small boils on scalp: Use an antifungal shampoo like Ketoconazole for scalp issues and an antifungal cream for armpit concerns. 4. Hair fall: Use minoxidil solution on the scalp to promote hair growth. 5. Groin and pelvic cramps: You can try over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for relief. 6. Erectile issues and lack of morning erections: Consider taking sildenafil for erectile dysfunction. 7. Inability to feel orgasm like before: You may benefit from counseling or therapy to address any psychological factors contributing to this issue. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages for each medication and consult with a healthcare provider if you have any concerns.

I masturbated last evening and about 30 minutes later, I noticed blood at the head of my penis. I urinated and washed it, but it happened two more times after urination. By the morning, everything seemed normal with no blood in my urine. Ive already had an ultrasound and urine test, and the results were normal, with only 8-10 red blood cells detected in my urine. Today, when my penis got erect, I felt a very brief pain in the middle of my penis for about 1-2 seconds. Then blood appeared again, and after 2-3 urinations, everything went back to normal with no pain or blood. Ive been taking Leon-500 once a day.Im worried that there may be some kind of blockage or internal injury from masturbation. Can you help me understand whats going on and what I should do?

you may be experiencing some trauma or injury to your penis during masturbation. The presence of blood in the urine and pain during erection could be indicative of a urethral injury or inflammation. Since you have already taken Leon-500, which contains Levofloxacin, an antibiotic, it is important to continue taking it as prescribed to prevent any infection. I recommend you also take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen to help reduce any inflammation and pain in the area. Additionally, you can apply a topical antibiotic ointment like Neosporin to the affected area to prevent infection. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out your system and avoid any activities that may further irritate or injure the area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
