I've been dealing with overmasturbation for about 23 years, sometimes up to 12 times a day. In the past 12 months, I've been feeling really weak and facing issues with erections, along with other side effects. I'm turning 19 years old in June. Is there a way to permanently treat this? Can I fully recover and enjoy a healthy sexual life in the future? Please help me out here.

It's important to remember that while occasional masturbation is normal, excessive or compulsive behavior can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. Reducing the frequency and focusing on a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet, exercise, and mental well-being, can help restore balance. If you're facing persistent issues like erectile dysfunction, its a good idea to consult a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and support. Recovery is possible with the right approach!

I'm having a tough time dealing with varicocele on my left side, and it's been going on for about 2 years now. At first, it was really uncomfortable with a burning feeling and heaviness, and it felt like there was a bag of worms there. The burning has eased up, but there's still some heaviness and pain, which is worrying me. On top of that, I'm struggling with some fertility issues. Could you help me understand what's going on and what I can do about it?

You are experiencing symptoms of varicocele, which is the swelling of the veins inside the scrotum. To help alleviate the heaviness and pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. For fertility issues related to varicocele, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Clomiphene to help increase sperm production. Surgery may also be recommended in some cases to repair the varicocele and improve fertility. It is important to consult with a urologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

My dad has kidney stones one is 7mm and the other is 15mm. Because of the bigger stone, his kidney has swollen a bit. Is homeopathic treatment a good option here? Can it actually cure stones this size, and how long might it take? He's really scared of surgery should we still consider it or is there another way?

Since the stone is larger in size ,percutaneous niphrolithotomy (PCNL) and uretroscopy is the gold standard procedure advised. A nephrologist opinion is advised for report review and further management of the patient .
