I've been noticing that some of the nerves on my penis have been swollen over the past couple of weeks. They feel kind of hard, almost like there's a blockage. Normally, it doesn't hurt, but I do feel pain when I press on them or during any sexual activity. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?

View allI'm really curious about how mast**u**rbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?
Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.

I have been dealing with a 5mm kidney stone and Im not sure what steps to take to manage it. Also, I have PCOD with an ED of 21mm, and Im struggling with irregular periods. I weigh 63 kg and my height is 51 cm. My doctor advised me to lose weight, but Im not sure if thats the right step or if there are more serious issues I should be worried about. Can you guide me on how to tackle these health concerns?
A 5mm kidney stone can often pass with increased water intake (3-4 litersday). PCOD and irregular periods improve significantly with weight loss, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. Losing 5-7% of your body weight can regulate periods and reduce complications. It's not serious yet, but consistent effort is key!

Can taking Azithromycin cause any serious heart problems? I've used it quite a bit, but recently stumbled upon this info and it got me a bit worried. Should I be considering different antibiotics? I was on Azithromycin for a 10-day course for a UTI once.
Azithromycin can indeed have an effect on the heart, particularly in individuals with certain risk factors such as existing heart conditions or those who are prone to heart rhythm abnormalities. It is important to be cautious when using Azithromycin and to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. If you have a history of cardiac issues or if you are worried about potential risks, it may be advisable to consider alternative antibiotics. I recommend discussing your concerns with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
