What Causes Enlarged Prostrate?
Question: What does it mean to have an enlarged prostrate and is it caused by too much masterbation?
Brief Answer:
Enlarged prostate is due to aging.
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
Enlargement of prostate is most commonly due to aging, it is not due to too much masturbation.
The most common cause for prostate enlargement is benign prostatic hyperplasia, this is a problem of aging.
Masturbation actually helps keep the prostate enlargement in check by getting rid of the secretions of the prostate, so masturbation has exactly the opposite effect than what you said.
Do not worry, consult a urologist and get proper medicines prescribed, this can be dealt with with medicines.
I hope this answers your query.
Kind regards.

Hello XXXX
Thank you for writing back.
A lesion in the gall bladder is not something you can wish away or shrink with heat or any other natural methods.
First of all, we do not know what kind of lesion that is, it could a benign growth, or it could be a cancerous growth, so without getting it out and examining it under a microscope we can not be certain of its' nature, hence I urge you to kindly follow your doctor's advice and get it removed, the risk is too high.
I hope this answers your query, please do feel free to write back if you need any more information.
Wishing you all the very best.
Warm regards.
