Is there a way to increase penis size? I'm worried because my erection size is about 5.1, but it's really small when flaccid, almost like it's squeezed. Could my daily masturbation habit be affecting this, and what can I do about it?
It's important to understand that daily masturbation is not likely to cause a permanent decrease in penis size. Penis size can vary significantly among individuals and can be influenced by factors such as genetics, hormonal levels, and overall health. If you're concerned about your size or experience discomfort, its a good idea to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and discuss safe, evidence-based options for improving sexual health.

My dad has a 13 mm kidney stone and the doctor recommended keyhole surgery but we really want to avoid an operation. We heard homeopathy might have good treatment options - can homeopathy help dissolve or pass a stone this size without surgery?
A 13mm kidney stone likely requires medical intervention, as they are less likely to pass naturally. The most common treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL). ESWL uses shock waves to break the stone into smaller fragments, while ureteroscopy and PCNL are procedures that physically remove or break up the stone
