Is it fine if I'm masturbating twice a week while I'm also working out pretty intensely? I'm a bit worried if this could have any impact on my muscle gains.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, masturbating twice a week is perfectly normal and won't affect your muscle gains. Intense workouts and muscle growth depend on proper nutrition, rest, and consistent training. As long as you're maintaining these, occasional masturbation has no significant impact on your fitness progress.

I found out I have mild to moderate varicocele in my left testis after a Doppler test and ultrasound. Could prone masturbation be causing this? What should I do next is surgery necessary or are there other options?
Varicocele is not caused by masturbation. Mild-to-moderate cases are usually managed conservatively. Surgery (varicocelectomy) is needed only if fertility is affected or pain persists.
