I'm a teenager and I'm really curious about whether masturbation affects my height growth. Also, is there a limit on how often I should do it in a week?

Masturbation does not affect height or growth during teenage years; it's a normal part of development. You can masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, but overdoing it might affect your focus on studies or daily activities, so moderation is key.

My 2-month-old baby was diagnosed with moderate hydronephrosis in the left kidney showing a dilated renal pelvis and mild cortical thinning, possibly due to PUJ obstruction. The ultrasound showed the left kidney is 5.5x2.4 cm with a 14mm AP diameter of the renal pelvis and slightly reduced cortical thickness. The right kidney looks normal. Do you think surgery is needed or are there other treatment options we should consider first?
For a 2-month-old with moderate hydronephrosis due to a possible ureteropelvic junction (PUJ) obstruction, initial treatment often involves watchful waiting and monitoring, along with strategies to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). Surgery may be considered if the condition worsens, kidney function is compromised, or if other complications arise
