I'm someone who hits the gym regularly and likes to take my protein shake every day after working out. Ive been wondering, if I masturbate once a week or every two weeks, will it impact my muscle growth or body size? Will it affect how my body develops?

Masturbation, when done in moderation, does not have a significant impact on muscle growth or body size. Its a natural activity that doesnt interfere with your ability to build muscle or your physical progress as long as you maintain a healthy lifestyle, including proper nutrition and exercise. Focus on your workout regimen and diet for the best results.

The doctor said surgery isn't needed and recommended rest for healing, but I need to get back to sports soon. Would PRP therapy help speed up recovery?
