Hey, my blood sugar level is at 142, and I'm a bit concerned about it. Should I be worried? Could you give me some guidance on what steps I should take next?

A blood sugar level of 142 mgdL indicates prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance; while it's not extremely high, it's essential to take proactive steps to manage your blood sugar levels and prevent progression to diabetes; consider consulting your doctor, who may recommend lifestyle changes, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, weight management, and stress reduction, and may also suggest regular monitoring of your blood sugar levels and potentially prescribe medication or supplements to help regulate your blood sugar.

A nabothian cyst is a small, benign growth on the cervix, typically harmless and asymptomatic, often resolving on its own; having a nabothian cyst is unlikely to affect pregnancy or fertility, but it's essential to monitor both the nabothian cyst and the ovarian cyst through regular check-ups with your gynecologist to ensure they don't cause any complications or affect your reproductive health

I've been masturbating about two or three times a week, and I'm worried if this could lead to impotency. I feel like my penis isn't as big as it was when I was 18, especially when it's flaccid. I can see nerves on it and also on the back of my hands....

Diabetes occur through hereditary also but not all the cases,and masturbation does not lead to impotent
