I'm worried...

[hyporcondriac]

Ok so, I am 13, circumcised, a virgin, and I masturbate a lot(maybe too much). I know it said that I should be 18 or older, but I am kind of worried. And I'm sorry for my small vocabulary, I'm only 13. Ever since I can remember the under side of my penis has been a light bluish grey and it occasionally stings when I urinate, But new things have been popping up...I have swollen lymph nodes on my left arm, under my "nipples", and in my legs. I have been feeling really, depressed if it means anything. There is more, but I'm a major hyporcondriac and I don't think it is anything.



Please email me at tech_9_10***@****, I probably won't be keeping up with this.

hi, i think you probably have a urine infection which would cause swollen lymphs and burning . i think deprssion may just be changes with your hormones an is normal , you can expect a few mood swings too ! if you feel really low you need to talk to someone about it to get it sorted . x x x

Just so you know, all 13 year olds masturbate a lot. A *lot*. And masturbation is perfectly normal and healthy, no matter how old you are :-)

As for the rest, it all sounds normal. It's doubtful that you really do have enlarged lymph nodes; very few people are good judges of what is really "enlarged". It's also extremely doubtful that you have a urinary tract infection; they're very uncommon in guys. However, if you've had unprotected intercourse with someone else and are having any discharge, it would be a good idea to see your doctor.

What I'm most concerned about is your depression. Have you talked to your parents about how you're feeling? Or maybe your guidance counselor? It really helps to have someone to talk to.

No, I have not told anyone. I have no one to talk to, I have no friends and I don't feel comfortable talking to my parents about anything like that.

And I have told my mother about my swollen lymph nodes and she took me to the doctor and he said that that's that it was, and he just sent me home. He just sent me home because the main reason I was there is because I have really bad headaches   that last all day, and it takes me about 4-7 hours to fall asleep after I go to bed.
