I've completely stopped masturbating because I used to feel super fatigued and lazy afterwards. I was doing it every night and it's become a concern for me now. I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I'm just wondering if stopping entirely is a good idea or not. Could you give me some advice on this?

Stopping masturbation completely is a personal choice and can have different effects on individuals. It is important to listen to your body and how it responds to the change. If you are feeling fatigued and lazy after masturbating, it may be a sign that your body needs a break from it. It is generally considered safe to stop masturbating completely, as long as it does not cause any physical or emotional distress. However, it is also important to find a balance that works for you. If you are experiencing any discomfort or changes in your physical or mental health, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

I'm dealing with a UTI and my doctor prescribed me Niftas 100 mg twice a day. But I've been getting these intense headaches after taking it. Any idea why this might be happening?

Headache can be a side effect of Niftas (Nitrofurantoin), which is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs). If you are experiencing severe headaches as a side effect of Niftas, you should inform your doctor. They may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication such as Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) or Bactrim (TrimethoprimSulfamethoxazole) to treat your UTI without causing severe headaches.

I'm a bit concerned because my father has had laser prostate treatments twice before, once in 2011 when his prostate was 50mm, and then again in 2014 when it was 60mm. Despite that, he still has issues with prostate enlargement. By August 2015, his prostate had grown to 76mm. We decided to try ayurvedic treatment, and by October 2015, it's down to 56mm. Is this kind of fluctuation normal, and should we be worried about long-term effects or stability, especially since he has gone through both laser and ayurvedic treatments? Any advice on what to keep an eye on or consider moving forward?
