I'm concerned about masturbating three times a day. Could this have any future effects on my health, like infertility or erectile dysfunction? Is this something I should be worried about?

View allI've had varicocele in my left testicle for the past 7 years and it's been causing me pain. I'm unmarried and wondering if this can be treated with medication or if I'll need surgery. What are my options?
A varicocelectomy is a surgical procedure that treats severe varicoceles that are painful or affect your fertility. A surgeon who specializes in conditions that affect your urinary system and reproductive system will cut your affected veins and seal off the ends.

I'm a bit concerned because my father has had laser prostate treatments twice before, once in 2011 when his prostate was 50mm, and then again in 2014 when it was 60mm. Despite that, he still has issues with prostate enlargement. By August 2015, his prostate had grown to 76mm. We decided to try ayurvedic treatment, and by October 2015, it's down to 56mm. Is this kind of fluctuation normal, and should we be worried about long-term effects or stability, especially since he has gone through both laser and ayurvedic treatments? Any advice on what to keep an eye on or consider moving forward?

I'm feeling a bit worried after my ultrasound today showed a 3.8 mm stone in my kidney. Can you help me understand what this means and suggest what I should do next? I'm looking for a good urologist. Does this size stone usually pass on its own, or will I need treatment?
I recommend you start taking Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help relax the muscles in the urinary tract and facilitate the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen 400 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone.
