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 allHow often is it okay to masturbate in a day? I'm 17-and-a-half years old, weigh 55 kg, and my height is 5'8".
Masturbation frequency varies for each individual and there is no specific number of times that is considered "normal." It is generally considered healthy as long as it does not interfere with daily activities or cause distress. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

My penis curves to the left when it's fully erect and it makes it look shorter than it is. Is there any way to straighten it without surgery?
A slight curve in the erect penis is common and usually not a concern unless it's causing pain or difficulty during intercourse. If the curve is significant, you might have a condition called Peyronie’s disease. Non-surgical options like oral medications, penile traction therapy, or injections (like collagenase) may help—consult a urologist for proper evaluation and guidance.

My wife has a 14mm kidney stone should we consider surgery or can medicine dissolve it? What's the best way to handle this?
For a 14mm kidney stone, surgical intervention is typically recommended as the first-line treatment. While medications can help manage pain and aid in passing smaller stones, they cannot dissolve 14mm stones. Surgery, along with other options like lithotripsy, are more effective for larger stones.
