I'm wondering if having a habit of daily masturbation is good or bad for me. How do I control or stop it if it's not a healthy practice? Are there any harms associated with it?

Daily masturbation can be a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, but excessive or compulsive masturbation can lead to negative effects such as fatigue, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, guilt, shame, and neglect of responsibilities; to control or stop, try setting boundaries, practicing self-control, engaging in alternative activities, and seeking professional help if needed.

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's been worrying me. It started with pain in my lower abdomen, and after a while, I began feeling pain in my penis and the nearby pelvic area. I've had IBS for quite some time, and I'm wondering if this penile pain could be related to my lower abdomen issues and IBS. Does that make sense? Could they be connected?

Recurrent vaginal yeast infections can be challenging to manage. Since you've already taken two doses of fluconazole (FAS 3-kit) and still experience recurring infections, it's essential to consider other factors contributing to the recurrence. *Possible Reasons for Recurrence* 1. *Hormonal changes*: Your periods might be triggering the recurrence due to hormonal fluctuations. 2. *Incomplete treatment*: The initial treatment might not have fully cleared the infection. 3. *Underlying medical conditions*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, can increase the risk of recurrent yeast infections. 4. *Antibiotic use*: Recent antibiotic use can disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora, leading to yeast overgrowth. *Next Steps* 1. *Consult your gynecologist again*: Discuss your recurring symptoms and ask about further treatment options. 2. *Consider alternative treatments*: Your doctor might recommend alternative antifungal medications, such as clotrimazole or miconazole, or a longer treatment course. 3. *Maintain good hygiene and lifestyle habits*: Continue to follow your doctor's advice on hygiene, fluid intake, and dietary changes. 4. *Probiotics and dietary supplements*: Certain probiotics and dietary supplements, such as lactobacillus acidophilus, may help maintain a healthy vaginal flora. *Fluconazole Use* While you can take another dose of fluconazole, it's essential to consult your doctor first. They will assess your situation and determine the best course of action.

I'm interested in getting a Shilajit product but feel a bit confused about which brand to choose. Also, I'm wondering whether the capsule form or liquid form would be better for boosting sexual health, improving immunity, and increasing stamina. Any advice or suggestions would be really helpful.

Shilajit is a potent herbal supplement often used for boosting stamina, immunity, and sexual health. The best form depends on personal preference; liquid Shilajit is typically more bioavailable, but capsules offer convenience. When choosing a brand, look for one that offers pure, sustainably sourced Shilajit with third-party testing for quality and safety.

Hey, I've been dealing with some issues for the past few years and I'm a bit worried about what's going on with my body. It started about four years ago with dark yellow urine and a burning sensation, sometimes it even looked cloudy and foamy. I'm not sure if it's dhatu rog or maybe a urine infection. Then after a year, I began to experience leg pain, muscle aches, and back pain, especially after sitting or standing for a long time. Now, things have gotten worse. My legs hurt all the time, and sitting on a chair makes it worse. I also feel a lot of rectum pressure, leg aching, and discomfort in the genital area, particularly between my testicles and the anus area with pain and burning. My urine feels oily too and there's constant rectum pressure, plus I often feel the need to pee urgently within 10 minutes. There's also this feeling of stomach fullness. When I sit on the toilet, my legs ache, my testicles get tight and swollen, and my penis feels very small with a burning sensation. Could this all be a vitamin D issue or something else? Any advice you can give would be helpful.

Kindly get your urine test done . and get back with result
