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.

I'm really into my morning walks, and I've been gradually increasing my distance to about 22.5 kms. But lately, I've noticed I'm super exhausted by the time I get home, and sometimes I'm just drowsy all day. I've even caught myself dozing off during travel. This has been going on for about a month. Any idea why this might be happening or how I could fix it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing fatigue and drowsiness due to physical exertion. You may benefit from taking a supplement like Vitamin B12 to help boost your energy levels. I recommend taking a Vitamin B12 supplement with a dosage of 1000 mcg daily. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated before, during, and after your walk. If the symptoms persist, it would be a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation.

The shoulder pain and temporary numbness or disconnection sensation in your hand after throwing a cricket ball may indicate a shoulder injury, such as a rotator cuff strain or shoulder impingement, or possible nerve compression; consider consulting a sports medicine specialist or physiotherapist for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, apply the RICE principle: Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation to alleviate symptom
