I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Masturbation is a normal and healthy activity that does not cause infertility or affect your ability to have children in the future. If you have concerns about fertility, focus on a healthy lifestyle and consult a doctor for reassurance or further guidance.

View allI'm 26 and dealing with pain in my left testicle turns out I have grade 1 varicocele after getting a USG. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? The pain gets worse when I have strong sexual urges, stand too long, pass stool, or lift heavy stuff. I just want to get back to my normal pain-free life and start working out again
Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for a grade 1 varicocele that can help manage pain and improve your quality of life. While surgery is the most effective long-term solution, it's not always necessary for mild cases like yours. You can try lifestyle changes and over-the-counter pain relief to manage your symptoms

I'm a bit worried because my penis isn't getting as hard as it used to during sex. I got married a couple of months ago, and before that, when I masturbated, everything was fine, and it was hard. But now, it's different, and I'm not sure why this is happening. Can you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?
You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication like Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 30 minutes before sexual activity. This can help improve blood flow to the penis and make it easier to achieve a firm erection. Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's 11mm on the left side, and my doctors suggested going for Laser Surgery RIRS. I'm just wondering if lithotripsy is a possible option for my situation instead?
Lithotripsy can be a suitable option for treating kidney stones, including stones of 11mm size. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break down the kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed out in the urine. However, the effectiveness of lithotripsy depends on the composition and location of the stone. It is best to consult with your doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment option for your specific case.
