I've been thinking about my habits recently. I used to masturbate a lot, but I've now stopped for about a week, and I haven't watched any porn either. Is it okay to completely stop, or is it healthier to do it every now and then?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stopping masturbation for a week is unlikely to cause harm, and it's okay to abstain or reduce frequency voluntarily; whether to resume masturbation or maintain abstinence depends on personal preferences, values, and goals; consider focusing on overall physical, emotional, and mental well-being, rather than frequency of masturbation.

View allI have prostate grade 1 is this considered cancer or something else? Can it be treated with just medicine or will I need surgery? Also, my sugar level is at 257 and I have fatty liver could these affect my treatment options?
A prostate grade 1 indicates a benign prostate condition (BPH), not cancer. It's typically not treated with surgery initially, but rather through lifestyle changes and medications to manage symptoms. High blood sugar and fatty liver may influence treatment options, but further assessment is needed

I'm dealing with an 8mm kidney stone in the upper pole and a 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery, or is surgery my only option?
The 8mm stone in the upper pole kidney and the 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) may be treatable without surgery, depending on symptoms and stone composition; options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break down the stones, or medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like alpha-blockers to help pass the stones naturally; however, consult a urologist to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific situation.
