I'm wondering about the effects of masturbation on health. Is it generally good or bad? Also, if someone has been masturbating frequently over a long period, could that be harmful to their health? Just trying to understand if I should be concerned.

There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation is harmful to your health. If someone is experiencing any negative physical or emotional effects from excessive masturbation, it is important to address the underlying issues. It is recommended to maintain a balance in all aspects of life, including sexual activities. If you are experiencing any concerns related to masturbation or your sexual health, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

View allI'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've been regularly masturbating since I was in the 10th grade, and now I'm 27 years old. Lately, I've noticed my penis seems to be getting thinner and shorter than it used to be. I'd say I masturbate about 57 times weekly on average, and I'm pretty worried about whether my penis will get back to its normal size and width. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I have multiple stones up to 6.7 mm in size do I need to take medication or is surgery necessary? Looking for advice from a gastroenterology specialist on the best way to handle this
For multiple kidney stones up to 6.7 mm, a gastroenterologist (who deals primarily with the digestive system) may not be the most appropriate specialist. Urologists, who specialize in the urinary system, are better equipped to manage kidney stones. While medication can sometimes help smaller stones pass on their own, larger stones like yours may require more intervention, potentially including procedures like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy.

I've been having this pain on my left waist that comes and goes. It's not exactly constant, but it flares up if I sit or stand for too long. The pain does disappear after about 5 to 10 minutes. I'm just not sure what steps I should take next or who I should see about this. Any advice?
