I'm a bit worried about my habit of frequent masturbation, especially since I'm in the 15 to 22 age range. I've read some stuff on Google saying that doing it often when you're young can lead to early prostate cancer. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? I usually masturbate twice a day and it's got me concerned about my future. Could you provide some guidance on this?

My dad has been having some kidney pain and tests confirmed he has kidney stones. The doctors are recommending surgery right away without trying any medications first. Can you review the reports and let me know if surgery is really necessary? If yes, how soon should it be done?
