I've been struggling with back pain for a while now. I went to an orthopedic doctor but didn't see any improvement. The pain is mostly in my lower back. I also tried physiotherapy, but that hasn't helped either. I'm really hoping for some advice or guidance on what to do next because it's been so frustrating. Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

I'm wondering if practicing hand exercises just once a month could be harmful in any way. Could you shed some light on whether this is safe or if there are any risks involved?

Masturbating once a month is generally considered safe and not harmful to your physical or mental health; in fact, masturbation can have several benefits, such as reducing stress, improving sleep, and boosting mood, as long as it's done in moderation and doesn't interfere with your daily life or relationships.
