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.

I've noticed that my left testicle is quite a bit larger than the right one. The left one is around the size of an egg, while the right is more like a 2 rupee coin. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be an issue? Please help me figure this out.

It's important to monitor any changes in the size of your testicles, even without pain. A significant size difference could be due to various factors, such as a varicocele, hydrocele, or other conditions. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly an ultrasound to ensure everything is fine.

I've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?

Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

I have a 19mm stone in my right kidney but the measurements say 18.89.213.7mm. Can you clarify if it's actually 19mm or 13.7mm? Is there any way to shrink or dissolve this stone with medication alone, or will I definitely need surgery?

Mostly will need to remove the stone endoscopically
