I've completely stopped masturbating because I used to feel super fatigued and lazy afterwards. I was doing it every night and it's become a concern for me now. I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I'm just wondering if stopping entirely is a good idea or not. Could you give me some advice on this?

Stopping masturbation completely is a personal choice and can have different effects on individuals. It is important to listen to your body and how it responds to the change. If you are feeling fatigued and lazy after masturbating, it may be a sign that your body needs a break from it. It is generally considered safe to stop masturbating completely, as long as it does not cause any physical or emotional distress. However, it is also important to find a balance that works for you. If you are experiencing any discomfort or changes in your physical or mental health, it is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further guidance.

My 71-year-old father was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy showed grade 24. The doctor recommended removing his prostate gland and testis, but he's currently taking homeopathic medicine like sabal serulata 200. Is surgery really necessary at this stage, or can his condition be managed with medicines? We're open to homeopathy, Ayurveda, herbal treatments, or even combining them with allopathy if it helps avoid surgery.

I'm having trouble lasting more than a few minutes during sex before I ejaculate. I'm really hoping for some advice on how I might extend that time to around 35 minutes so I can enjoy it more. Can you help me with this?

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?

It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!
