I'm 25 and I've never masturbated before. I'm wondering if this is normal and if it might lead to any sexual or prostate issues in the future. Also, what would be a healthy frequency for masturbation?

It's completely okay if you haven't masturbated; there's no right or wrong when it comes to personal habits. Not masturbating will not cause sexual or prostate issues in the future. The ideal frequency varies for each person, but the key is whether it feels comfortable and healthy for you. If you ever have concerns about sexual health, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare professional.

My doctor prescribed me Drosis XT deflazacort 30mg and tamsulosin 0.4mg twice a day for 10 days along with other meds for kidney stones. Is taking 30mg of steroid twice a day safe for kidney stones? Are steroids usually given for this issue? Will the stones not pass without steroids?

Nephrologist opinion is advised for further treatment.

I'm really curious about whether masturbation is actually good or bad for my health. I've come across some old texts that mention the importance of preserving semen, and it's got me thinking. If it is okay to masturbate, how many times should I be doing it in a week? And is there a way to replenish semen after losing it?

Masturbation, when done in moderation, is generally considered a normal and healthy activity. It doesn't harm physical health and can even help reduce stress. Ancient texts may emphasize semen retention, but from a modern medical perspective, there is no need to worry about "semen loss" from occasional masturbation. It's essential to maintain balance, and frequency can vary individuallyusually, 2-3 times a week is typical, but it should always be based on personal comfort and well-being.
