Masturbation frequency varies for each individual and there is no specific number of times that is considered "normal." It is generally considered healthy as long as it does not interfere with daily activities or cause distress. Listen to your body and do what feels right for you.

My wife has a 12 mm stone in her left kidney and feels mild pain daily. Can this be treated with medicine or does she need surgery?
Kidney stones may not always cause pain and discomfort and may remain asymptomatic unless they grow too big or get stuck in the ureter or urethra. A 12 mm kidney stone is large and can cause much pain and difficulties and requires surgery for removal.
