I've been dealing with some lower back pain, and my doctor prescribed me Zerodol SP to take for two days. I took the pill after eating some fruits and salads, and now I'm a little worried if that might be an issue. Also, I've been on Zifi AZ, which is cefexime and azithromycin, for a urinary tract infection at the same time. Is it okay to take these meds after having fruits and salads, or should I be doing something differently?

No there is no any complication,you can follow your doctors advice,consume more water upto 4L in a day and take adequate rest

Conservative therapy is advised since the stone is small.

I'm really worried about the effects of over-masturbation. I've been dealing with early ejaculation, hair loss, semen leakage, fatigue, and weakness for the past five years. Can you tell me if these issues can be reversed and what steps I should take to improve my situation?

Over-masturbation itself doesn't directly cause severe health issues like hair loss, fatigue, or semen leakage, but anxiety or guilt around it can lead to stress, which might worsen these symptoms. Addressing underlying stress, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and seeking professional guidance can help improve your condition.
