I've had my kidney stent removed about a month ago, but I'm still having some pain in my side abdomen and my back pretty often. Is this normal, or could it indicate another issue? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.

It is not uncommon to experience some pain in the side abdomen and back after a kidney stent removal procedure. However, if the pain is persistent or severe, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or kidney stone. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential kidney stones. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Question

I've been dealing with a balanitis infection that started a few days ago, and I'm really concerned. I came across Fourderm cream and started using it, but I'm not sure if it's effective for this condition. Can you tell me if this cream is actually helpful for treating balanitis, or if there's something else I should be doing?

I've been masturbating after smoking weed for a really long time, sometimes even two or three times a day for several consecutive days, and it's been super satisfying. But I'm starting to wonder if this habit could cause any issues. What could be the possible effects or results of this?

Question

I've been having this pain on my left waist that comes and goes. It's not exactly constant, but it flares up if I sit or stand for too long. The pain does disappear after about 5 to 10 minutes. I'm just not sure what steps I should take next or who I should see about this. Any advice?
