I've been dealing with some weird side effects from years of masturbating, like joint pain, weaker bones, hair fall, especially around my shoulders which feel weak, and fatigue, and even some pain in my lower back and abs. I stopped for a month, but this morning I had an episode in my sleep, and now I'm back to feeling weak with bone pain and fatigue. What should I do? Any advice would be really helpful right now.

It sounds like your body is reacting to the strain of frequent masturbation. It's important to listen to your body and give it time to recover. Focus on staying hydrated, eating nutrient-rich foods, and getting rest. If symptoms persist, consider speaking to a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I've been wondering if it's alright for men to use products like Lactacyd or Vwash for washing their intimate areas. If that's not a good idea, could you suggest some intimate wash options that are specifically for men?

My dad's been prescribed Cifran 500 mg twice a day for 10 days because he's dealing with a urine infection and prostate issues. He's been getting this faint stomach ache every time he takes it, which I read might be a side effect of Cifran. It's making him uncomfortable, especially when he's trying to sleep. What should we do about this?

Cifran was prescribed based on experience of the Doctor or it was based on urine culture and sensitivity. You may ask your doctor to change the antibiotics if he can. Minimal stomach ache will be there with 99% antibiotics

I've been having really bad back pain and the doctor found a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. They recommended a small surgery like blasting the stone but I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary or if medicine could work instead

A 6mm kidney stone can be treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes to encourage it to pass naturally, or it may require surgery like lithotripsy. The decision depends on factors like the stone's location, size, type, and whether it's causing complications like obstruction or infection
