I'm 25 and I've noticed that my chest has some kind of deformation. After looking it up online, I figured out that it might be pigeon chest. I'm really keen on getting it treated but I'd prefer to avoid surgery if possible. Is there any other way to deal with this?

I've got an ankle injury, and I'm wondering if daily masturbation might slow down its healing. I read somewhere that the body's main focus is on making sperm first before it takes care of other things. Is it true that if someone gets injured, the body's resources would prioritize sperm production over healing an injury or delay the healing process? I hope you get what I'm asking.

It's understandable to be concerned, but masturbation doesn't significantly affect the healing of an ankle injury. The body prioritizes healing based on the injury's severity, and while sperm production is ongoing, it doesn't slow down the repair process of a minor injury like an ankle sprain. Focus on rest, elevation, and proper care for the ankle to aid recovery.
