View allI'm a teenager and I'm really curious about whether masturbation affects my height growth. Also, is there a limit on how often I should do it in a week?
Masturbation does not affect height or growth during teenage years; it's a normal part of development. You can masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, but overdoing it might affect your focus on studies or daily activities, so moderation is key.

It's been a full 11 days since I first got chicken pox, and the scabs haven't fallen off yet. I'm really starting to worry because it doesn't seem like any of them are going away. Is this normal? How much longer is it going to take for them to disappear?

My son has a swollen lymph node on one side of his neck. It doesn't hurt him and there aren't any other symptoms. It's been like this for almost 5 months. We've already seen three doctors who said there's nothing serious, but I'm worried because when I look it up online, I start feeling anxious. Could this be something serious?
That couldbe reactive lymphnode for previos infections and as you say its been 5 months hence it is unusual,visit Pediatrician for evaluation and appropriate management
