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.

Im a 23-year-old guy dealing with something unusual lately. My left testicle feels like it's vibrating, and occasionally the right one does too. It started happening the morning after I masturbated the night before. Plus, my left testicle seems a bit softer than the right one. My penis shakes sometimes as well. Its been like this for the past four days. Sometimes everything feels normal, and Im wondering if I should be worried or if this will sort itself out. Any ideas on what might be going on?

Sounds like you may be experiencing some testicular discomfort and changes in sensation. These symptoms could be due to various reasons such as muscle spasms, nerve irritation, or even underlying medical conditions. I recommend you to take Ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a cold pack to the affected area to help reduce any swelling or discomfort. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

My mom is 62 and diabetic recently got tested for a UTI and her report showed pus cells at 1015 but the urine culture came back negative for bacteria. She had her bladder removed a few years ago in surgery. Could the negative culture still mean an infection or what else might be causing the high pus cells?

continue tablet ceftas 200 mg per orally twice daily for 7 days ,culture and sensitivity of urine is advised.

I have an 8mm left mid pole kidney stone and really want to avoid surgery. Can medicines like potrate mb6 dissolve it or are there other alternatives that might work?

An 8mm kidney stone is quite large to dissolve with medications like Potrate MB6, which mainly help with pain and supporting kidney function but don’t dissolve stones. Usually, stones over 6mm often require intervention like shock wave lithotripsy or minimally invasive procedures. Please consult a urologist to discuss the best non-surgical or surgical options based on your condition.
