I'm really worried because I've got a nodule in the left lobe of my thyroid that's about 4x4 cm, and my T3, T4, and TSH levels are normal. There's also a smaller 1x1 cm nodule in the right lobe. The FNAC results advised a papillary cluster with chewing gum colloid and no nuclear groves. They mentioned excision biopsy to rule out papillary carcinoma. I'm trying to understand if this could be cancer or if it's benign. I'm really concerned about whether surgery is my only option or if there are other treatments available. Could you please guide me on what I should do?

I'm 17 and I've been wondering about something. I've been masturbating every day and I'm curious if this might be affecting my testosterone levels or the growth of my beard. Could it be having any impact on these things?

Masturbation does not have a direct impact on testosterone levels or beard growth. Testosterone levels are primarily influenced by factors such as age, genetics, overall health, and lifestyle. Similarly, beard growth is mainly determined by genetics and hormonal factors. If you have concerns about testosterone levels or beard growth, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.
