Hey, I'm 15 and sometimes I masturbate. I've noticed that my height isn't really increasing. I'm currently 5 feet 6 inches and I'm wondering if this could be the reason why I'm not getting taller. Is this something I should be worried about?

Masturbation does not have any direct impact on your height. Height is primarily determined by genetics and overall health. If you are concerned about your height, I recommend focusing on maintaining a balanced diet, regular exercise, and getting enough sleep to support your growth.

View allmy 6-month-old baby has undescended testicles on both sides - is there any way to treat this without surgery or will he need an operation? I'm really worried about putting him through surgery at this age
For undescended testicles in a 6-month-old, surgery is typically recommended if the testicles haven't descended on their own by that age. While some cases may resolve spontaneously, leaving them undescended can increase the risk of future health problems

How long do fevers last?
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying bacterial or viral infection and so, duration of fever depends on that particular causative organism. Usually, most fevers usually go away in 1 to 3 days in adults.

I'm really worried because for the past couple of days, my son's eyes have been getting watery, and he has to rub them to feel a bit better. It's strange because we don't actually see any water coming out, and luckily, his eyes aren't hurting. What could be causing this?
That could be due to dryness,use refresh tear 4 times in a day for a week if its still becoming worse,visit Ophtholomologist for appropriate management
