I'm really confused and a bit worried about whether masturbation is bad for me. Are there any harmful effects I should be aware of? Also, is there any truth to the idea that it could be related to hair fall or developing bald patches? I'd appreciate some clarity on this.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that masturbation is related to hair fall or the formation of bald patches. Hair loss is usually caused by factors such as genetics, hormonal changes, and certain medical conditions. If you are experiencing hair loss, it is best to consult a dermatologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

My husband has been struggling with a recurring fungal infection, and despite trying different medications, it keeps coming back. Can you recommend a medicine that can completely get rid of it?

I recommend trying Fluconazole (brand name Diflucan) at a dosage of 150mg once a week for 4-6 weeks. Additionally, applying Clotrimazole cream (brand name Lotrimin) twice daily to the affected area can help in faster resolution of the infection. Remember to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.
