Question 1

I've been dealing with this really annoying pain in my tailbone for the last three months. It hurts whenever I sit down, but it's weird because if I press on the spot, there's no pain. I've tried using ointments like Volini, but they haven't done much. The intensity seems to change every day. What could be going on?

Daflon (Diosmin) is a flavonoid used to treat varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and other vascular disorders. The recommended dosage may vary depending on the specific condition, severity, and individual patient needs.

According to the manufacturer's guidelines and medical literature, the typical recommended dosage for Daflon in the treatment of varicose veins is:

- 500 mg twice daily (BID) or
- 1000 mg once daily (OD)

Both dosing regimens have been shown to be effective in improving symptoms and reducing inflammation in patients with varicose veins.

Accepted Answer

Excessive masturbation does not directly cause wear and tear on bones, joints, or muscles. However, chronic overuse of certain muscles during masturbation could potentially lead to muscle strain or fatigue. Crepitus, or the crackling or popping sound that can occur in joints, is usually caused by air bubbles in the joint fluid or rough surfaces of the joint moving against each other. If you are experiencing any concerning symptoms related to your bones, joints, or muscles, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.
