I have a mild bulging disc in my neck and a pinched nerve can TENS therapy be enough to treat it or would I eventually need surgery? The symptoms aren't too severe right now but I'm worried about long-term relief. What do you recommend?

I'm a 20-year-old guy and I've been in the habit of masturbating about three to five times a week. It used to be fine, but last year I started getting this weird needle and pin sensation and numbness in my hands. I stopped for about 10-12 days and the sensations eased up in about a week. But the moment I started again, the sensations came back the very first day. Can you help me understand what's going on with my sexual health? Are there any home remedies you'd suggest?

Your symptoms of needle-like sensations, numbness, and rapid relapse after resuming masturbation suggest a possible condition known as "neurogenic shock" or "over-stimulation neuropathy," which may be related to excessive masturbation, pelvic floor muscle tension, or peripheral nerve compression; consider home remedies like taking regular breaks from masturbation, practicing relaxation techniques (e.g., deep breathing, meditation), engaging in physical exercise, and applying warm compresses to the genital area to relieve tension; however, consult a urologist, or a neurologist for personalized guidance and to rule out underlying medical conditions.

I'm a bit confused about the vitamin prescription I got for my nerve issues. The doctor said to take it once a day for two weeks, but didn't specify the strength. Should I be looking for something like 100mg? Any clues on what I should do?

I'm having this heaviness in my head that's been going on for about 15 days now, and there's a bit of pain on the left side of my neck too. On top of that, I've been dealing with a cold. I'm really worried about the heaviness in my head. Could it be something serious?

That could be Sinusitis,no need to worry, visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
