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.

I had a cystoscopy two days ago for a kidney stone in my upper right ureter and I'm a bit confused about what to eat and what precautions to take now. I found different diet suggestions online and not sure which one to follow. Can you help me with a clear diet plan and any other steps I should take after this surgery?

Post-cystoscopy, eat light, hydrate well, avoid spicy foods, and monitor for fever or severe burning.

I've been diagnosed with an epididymal cyst on my right scrotum through an ultrasound. Allopathy only suggests surgery, but I'm curious if Ayurveda offers any effective treatment options. Has anyone had success managing this without surgery?

While Ayurveda doesn't offer a definitive "cure" for epididymal cysts, it does provide approaches for managing symptoms and potentially promoting healing. Some Ayurvedic practitioners may recommend herbal remedies, lifestyle adjustments, and other modalities to alleviate pain, reduce swelling, and improve overall testicular health. Some individuals have found success with these methods, but it's crucial to consult with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance and to consider the potential risks and benefits in your specific case
