I'm curious about oral activities and I'm wondering if it's safe. Can you catch any diseases from doing it? If there are risks, how can someone do it safely? If not, is it okay to keep doing it?

Oral-genital contact can carry the risk of transmitting sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as herpes, gonorrhea, or HPV. It's important to practice good hygiene, use protection like dental dams, and ensure both partners are free of infections for safety. If you're unsure, it's best to discuss this with a healthcare provider.

View allI've been wondering about the effects of masturbating three times a week. Is there any truth to the idea that it could lower memory or weaken the brain? I'm just kinda worried and want to know if that's possible.
No, masturbating three times a week does not lower memory or weaken the brain. Its a normal and healthy activity unless it interferes with your daily life. If youre feeling fatigued or stressed, it could be due to other factors like poor sleep, diet, or stress levels.

I'm going through a really tough time with my kidney stones and I have surgery set for March 9. Theyve got me on 800mg of ibuprofen, but I've been down with what they suspect is the flu for over a week now. My blood work showed AST levels at 103 and ALT at 158 on Feb 14, then a week later they were up to AST 135, ALT 182, with Alkaline phosphate at 126. My potassium levels are also low, and to add to it, I don't have a gallbladder, but an ultrasound didnt show anything unusual. I'm also struggling with obesity and trying to get that under control. It feels like it might just be fatty tissue. Any thoughts on all this?
Given your elevated liver enzymes (AST and ALT), low potassium, and upcoming kidney stone surgery, it's essential to consult your doctor about adjusting your ibuprofen dosage, as it may be exacerbating liver strain, and also discuss potential underlying causes, such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), which is common in obese individuals, and ensure your potassium levels are monitored and managed to prevent complications.

I'm dealing with a needle-like pinch and hot sensations on the edges of my scrotum, and it's been really concerning. Plus, when I sit on a bike or even a chair, my right thigh and lower abdomen get painful. I've had a sonography done, and there's no hernia, which is a relief, but still confusing. I went to a neurologist who gave me Maxmela Forte to help, and it does reduce the pain a bit, but I still feel uneasy. This has been going on for about a month now, and I'm just not sure what's going on or what else I should be doing. Any ideas on what could be causing this or how to get more relief?
It sounds like you may be experiencing nerve-related symptoms in your scrotum edges, right thigh, and lower abdomen. The medication Maxmela Forte prescribed by the neurologist contains a combination of Pregabalin and Methylcobalamin, which helps in reducing nerve pain and discomfort. However, since you are still experiencing uneasiness, I recommend discussing with your doctor about adding a medication like Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) at a starting dose of 300mg, gradually increasing as needed for better control of nerve-related symptoms. Additionally, you may benefit from physical therapy to address any underlying musculoskeletal issues contributing to your symptoms.
