Accepted Answer

No: Night sweats are just sweats at night, and day sweats are sweats in the daytime. That means any person with a febrile illness can have fever, chills, and sweats... day or night.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Depends: If you are exercising vigorously in your arid location it would be wise to over hydrate when possible. Monitor for thirst sensation and honor it immediately. Monitor your sweat production after these adjustments.
Review your medication inserts for any mention of "drying effects". If so consult the prescribing physician for re-evaluation.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Confusing question: Sex hormones signal the growth centers to accelerate and complete the linear growth. In a sense, the sex hormones are just a normal part of the growth process.Without them, a person would continue to grow at a slow but steady rate, but would not gain muscle mass and sexual maturity.

Question 10

is masturbation normal during puberty and will it delay puberty ?

Accepted Answer

Yes and No: Normal men, women, boys, and girls masturbate (it's universal). It isn't harmful, as the body goes through similar effects during regular sex with a partner (but too much of anything may become a problem). Masturbation does not stunt height, cause hair loss or gray hair, make you weak, create heart problems, lower testosterone, affect virginity, lower fertility, change your weight, or damage eyes.
