I'm really worried about my habit of regular masturbation and I'm wondering if it's actually harmful. What kind of impact could this have on my health? Are there side effects I should be worried about? I'd really appreciate any advice on how I might control this habit.

Can a 9mm kidney stone be treated with just medication and fluids or is surgery necessary? I've attached my sonography report for reference what would you suggest based on the findings?

Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.

I'm having some issues with my ball sac; there are a few bumps I've noticed. It started with just one, which I tried to pop, and this hard calcium-like stuff came out, but the bump just got bigger after that. Now Im seeing a few more popping up. Any idea what could be causing this and how I can treat it?

It sounds like you may have developed sebaceous cysts or a similar skin condition on your scrotum. These bumps can occur when hair follicles or sebaceous glands become blocked. I recommend seeing a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and discuss treatment options, such as warm compresses, or in some cases, drainage or removal.

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin. It's kind of tight, and I'm really not keen on having surgery. Do you have any suggestions on how I can deal with this issue without going under the knife? Any help would be appreciated!

If your foreskin is tight, a condition called phimosis, non-surgical options like gentle stretching exercises, using a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor, or trying a non-invasive method like a foreskin dilation device can be effective. However, it's important to consult a urologist to ensure the right treatment for your situation.
