I'm really curious about how mast**u**rbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?

Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.

I'm a bit concerned after a recent ultrasound showed multiple echogenic foci in my right kidney and a small single echogenic foci in my left kidney, ranging from about 3mm to 6mm in size. Does this mean I might have kidney stones, or could it be something else?
