This is something for a professional, not hackernews

I would ask a doctor but I'm waiting for the authorities to confirm my residency before I can register for one and it's been a month already. Can't afford a private one either as of now.

Like I said in another comment

> I have been taking cold showers for months due to my financial situation and I have gotten used to them. At worst I'm curious about the gravity of long-term negative effects on my health. On the other hand, I would be relieved if there weren’t any. At best, the potential health benefits are just a bonus for me, but not necessary, to be honest.

I've tried to sign up to ask there but unfortunately doesn't work. I can't seem to be able to keep logged in. Tried everything I could.

Anybody not a doctor who gives medical opinions online to anonymous questioners is probably not very good at thinking and can't be expected to give useful answers.

Perhaps you could speak anonymously to a doctor or nurse practitioner by telephone.

(In Australia such a service is run by the Federal Government.)
