I'm a bit concerned about how often I should be masturbating. Are there any health effects from doing it? Like, is there a recommended number of times a week or month that's considered healthy? I just want to make sure I'm not overdoing it.

Masturbation is a normal and healthy part of human sexuality, with no serious physical or mental health effects when done in moderation; a healthy frequency can vary, but general guidelines suggest 2-3 times a week is normal, while excessive masturbation (more than 1-2 times a day) can lead to issues like fatigue, guilt, or decreased sexual sensitivity.

View allI'm kind of worried because I've noticed this small bump on the side of my urinary meatus. It's been there for about two months now, and even though it's not causing any pain or discomfort, it hasn't gone away or changed at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own?

I have a 9mm stone in my right ureter and I'm really worried. Can it pass naturally if I drink a lot of water or is surgery the only option? I get pain and vomiting often but not constantly. Are there any natural remedies that might help? I really don't want to go through surgery if possible.
A 9mm kidney stone in the right ureter can be managed through medical intervention or surgery, depending on the stone's composition and your symptoms. While drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, can help, it might not be sufficient for a stone of that size. It's recommended to seek medical advice, as other treatments like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopy might be necessary

Is it safe to have sex if my partner has phimosis where only a small part of the head is visible Should we consider surgery or are there other options
It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even if only a small part of the head is visible, but it might be more comfortable or cause less discomfort with some precautions. Surgery might be an option if phimosis causes pain, irritation, or complications like infection
