I've just turned 19, and I'm a girl who weighs only around 36-40 kgs. It feels like no matter how much I eat or how properly I do it, my weight just doesn't seem to go up. It's getting really frustrating because I'm looking really slim and can't figure out why. Could there be something else going on that I should be worried about?

My mom's been dealing with Hypothyroidism, and we recently discovered that her Anti Thyroglobulin Antibodies are at 230, TSH is 25, and her Phosphorus and Calcium levels are high at 8 and 10.1. Her ECG results are also abnormal, showing T Wave issues, abnormal sinus rhythm, lateral ischemia, and possible left atrial enlargement. Given all of this, should we be worried about this being an emergency or needing angioplasty, especially since she's already got hypothyroidism and kidney problems?

I've noticed that every time I masturbate, my butt seems to be getting bigger. It's really bothering me because I feel like I'm gaining weight because of it. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I should do about it? I'm feeling pretty worried and would love some advice.

Masturbation itself doesn't directly cause weight gain or increase buttock size
