Hey, I've been wondering if masturbating twice a day could be bad for my health. I came across an article saying it helps reduce stress and acts as a great stress reliever. But I'm also seeing other articles and hearing from some counselors that masturbating too often might affect sperm production and could cause a burning feeling during urination. Could you let me know what you think? I'd really like to understand if there are any long-term health implications of doing it regularly. Also, please keep this conversation private between us. I'm just trying to be proactive about my health.

Well sir masturbation is a normal physiological process and it's healthy as long as you are not obssessed to it or it disrupts your normal life...So just keep it in limits.

I've been really worried because I've been doing masturbation a lot, maybe more than I should, and I feel like it's affected my stamina and energy levels. I think it's also impacted my size or maybe that's just in my head. Is there something I can do to get my stamina and energy back? Any advice would really help.
It's important to understand that occasional masturbation does not cause long-term harm, but excessive behavior might lead to temporary fatigue or decreased energy. To regain stamina, focus on a balanced diet, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management. If you feel persistent issues, consider consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm dealing with epididymitis that I found out about a month ago. I started antibiotics back then and the swelling went down a bit. Then my doctor switched me to a milder antibiotic, but after a week, the swelling didn't go away and actually got worse, turning into a hydrocele. So my doctor put me back on the old antibiotics. I've got a bunch of questions on my mind. Is epididymitis something that can actually be cured? And if so, how long should I expect it to take? What kind of care should I be taking, like should I change my diet or exercise routine? Is jogging, running, or hitting the gym something I can do? Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking? How about personal care, any specific things I need to focus on? Also, my doctor prescribed tablets that cost 100 Rs each; do antibiotics really cost that much?
