I'm a 16-year-old struggling with a few issues and hoping for some advice. I've been habitually masturbating for the past 30 months, and I'm wondering if it might be affecting my health. I'm 5'2", but I really want to grow taller. My menstrual cycle is irregular, and I have problems with constipation and insomnia. I also suffer from anxiety, and it doesn't help that I can get angry quickly and have trouble controlling my frustration. I'm quite moody, but I'm also very ambitious about my career. My weight is around 72 kg, and I feel overweight. Despite working out five times a week, I haven't seen any changes. Should I stop masturbating to help with my weight loss and height growth? Given all these things, what do you suggest regarding my masturbation habits?

Akanksha, considering your overall health and concerns, here are some suggestions:
Masturbation and Health
- Moderation is key: Limit masturbation frequency to 1-2 times a week, allowing your body and mind to balance.
- Understand triggers: Identify emotional triggers (anxiety, frustration, mood swings) and address them through stress management techniques (meditation, deep breathing, exercise).
- Explore alternative stress relief: Engage in hobbies, creative activities, or sports to manage stress and emotions.
Health Concerns
- Irregular menstrual cycle: Consult a gynecologist to rule out underlying hormonal imbalances.
- Constipation: Incorporate fiber-rich foods, stay hydrated, and consider probiotics.
- Insomnia: Establish a consistent sleep schedule, create a relaxing bedtime routine, and avoid screens before bedtime.
- Anxiety disorder: Continue therapy or consult a psychologist for guidance.
- Overweight: Focus on balanced diet (whole foods, fruits, veggies) alongside regular exercise.
- Height growth: While masturbation doesn't directly impact height, prioritize overall health, nutrition, and hormone balance.
Additional Suggestions
- Nutrition: Eat a balanced diet with calcium, vitamin D, and protein-rich foods to support bone growth.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day.
- Exercise: Continue regular exercise, incorporating stretching and strength training to improve overall health.
- Mindfulness: Practice mindfulness, meditation, or yoga to manage stress and emotions.

View allI'm on day 13 after my IUI and have been taking progesterone. I've had headaches, leg and back pain, and sometimes my mouth waters or I feel aches like when my period is about to start.

Chicken is a moderate-purine food, which means it can contribute to uric acid production in the body. However, the impact is relatively mild compared to high-purine foods like organ meats, seafood, and beer. To put things into perspective: - 3 ounces (85g) of cooked chicken contain about 150-200 mg of purines. - The recommended daily purine intake for individuals with gout or high uric acid is around 100-150 mg. If you're concerned about uric acid, consider these tips: 1. *Moderation is key*: Enjoy chicken in moderation (1-2 servings a week). 2. *Balance your diet*: Pair chicken with low-purine foods like vegetables, whole grains, and low-fat dairy. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to help flush out uric acid. You don't necessarily need to stop eating chicken entirely, Manas. Just be mindful of your overall diet and purine intake.

I spoke with another doctor, and they recommended taking Lumia 60k just once a month instead of weekly. Could you help clarify what's the best approach for me?
