I've been wondering about the effects of masturbating three times a week. Is there any truth to the idea that it could lower memory or weaken the brain? I'm just kinda worried and want to know if that's possible.

No, masturbating three times a week does not lower memory or weaken the brain. Its a normal and healthy activity unless it interferes with your daily life. If youre feeling fatigued or stressed, it could be due to other factors like poor sleep, diet, or stress levels.

I'm dealing with a kidney stone that's about 98 MM for the past two months, and I'm not experiencing severe pain. Is it really possible for the stone to pass without treatment? Everyone says it might come back even after treatment. Are there specific foods I should avoid to help with this, like someone suggested steering clear of tomatoes? I've been drinking more water and tender coconut water daily for the last two months, and thankfully, I'm only feeling a bit of pain now. I also try to walk and do some small exercises in the morning. The doctor mentioned the stone is nearly 1 cm, so I'm wondering if it can pass without treatment. Could you give me some advice on all these concerns?

Kidney stones of 9-10mm usually don't pass on their own without treatment, especially if there is no severe pain. While drinking plenty of water and staying active are great for kidney health, it's important to follow your doctor's advice for treatment. To avoid recurrence, limit foods high in oxalates (like spinach, beets, and chocolate), salt, and animal protein. Regular check-ups are crucial for monitoring your condition.

My dad's PSA level is 8.62 and his prostate weighs 65 grams. The MRI shows BPH but everything else looks normal. Should he consider surgery or can this be managed with medication?

A PSA level of 8.62, combined with a 65-gram prostate and a BPH diagnosis from an MRI, suggests that medication may be a good first approach, but surgery could be considered if symptoms are bothersome or if medication is not effective, according to the Cleveland Clinic and the Mayo Clinic. A biopsy is not automatically indicated with these findings, but your doctor will likely discuss this further with you based on the MRI results and your father's symptoms.
