I'm wondering if masturbating twice a day could be affecting my weight. I'm aiming to gain weight and I've been hitting the gym every day. Does masturbation have any impact on building muscles or weight gain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Masturbation does not directly cause weight loss or hinder muscle growth. To gain weight and improve muscle mass, you should focus on a balanced diet rich in protein and healthy fats, along with a consistent workout routine at the gym. Consider adding a protein supplement

View allCan surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostatitis increase the risk of prostate cancer later on I'm 58 with a PSA of 18.9 and worried about this possibility
No, surgery for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or prostatitis generally does not increase the risk of prostate cancer later on. However, there are other factors that can affect PSA levels and potentially lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer after treatment for BPH or prostatitis.

My dad was diagnosed with grade 1 prostatomegaly and his prostate size is 37cc. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary at this stage. Could we explore other options or wait and watch first? Just looking for a second opinion on whether surgery is the best route right now
Grade 1 prostatomegaly can be monitored—meds like tamsulosin help; surgery is rarely needed early on.

I don't usually masturbate regularly, but when I do, I end up with this annoying pain in my lower back that sticks around for like a week or more. If I happen to do it again before the pain goes away, it just gets worse. The pain's really bothersome, making it tough to walk or even lie down comfortably. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my prostate gland, but I'm not really sure. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
It sounds like the pain youre experiencing could be related to muscle strain or tension in your lower back, rather than directly involving your prostate. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions such as prostate issues, muscular problems, or nerve involvement. They can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.
