<s>[INST] hello! my question is a little weird, but i really want to know this. i am suffering from mild bell s palsy since a couple of weeks. i am getting the electrical stimulation and have been regularly doing all the facial exercises that have been suggested by the physiotherapist. plus i take 60mg of omnacortil (prednisone) once a day. but i wanted to ask that will occasional masturbation have any effect on the recovery or the disorder itself? [/INST] Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. No, masturbation has nothing to do with Bell's palsy and it's the treatment. In fact, masturbation is a very normal process for any human being. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. </s>
