Can a 6.8 mm stone in the right VUJ be dissolved with medicine or do I need other options like shockwave laser treatment or surgery? What's the best way to go about this?

I've been feeling a slight pain and discomfort right above my penis, like two fingers' width above, and it's a bit more to the left side. Plus, there's a heaviness in the area around my testicles. This has been going on for about two weeks now. Is this something normal or should I be concerned enough to see a doctor about it?

The symptoms you're describing, including slight pain above the penis, heaviness in the testicles, and a specific location of the pain, warrant medical attention; possible causes range from epididymitis, orchitis, or a groin strain to more serious conditions like testicular torsion or a hernia; schedule an appointment with a urologist or primary care physician for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really worried because I'm dealing with pain in the area between my testicles and rectum. I've noticed it's swollen, and when I touch it, the pain gets worse. Can you tell me what might be going on or what I should do to help it?

It sounds like you may have an infection or inflammation, such as **epididymitis** or **prostatitis**, which could explain the pain and swelling. I recommend avoiding pressure on the area, using warm compresses for relief, and consulting a doctor promptly for evaluation and treatment, which may include antibiotics.

I've been dealing with a urinary tract infection that lasted for nearly 2 months, from mid-February to mid-April. I initially thought this was why I couldn't ejaculate after masturbation during that period. Even though I'm now cured of the UTI, I'm worried because things aren't back to normal. After an orgasm, only a little semen comes out, and my penis feels really dry all the time. I'm really scared about this situation but I'm hesitant to visit a doctor because I'm still single. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Hi there..dry ejaculation ie man doesn't ejaculate semen after climax or releases very little.. many causes like repeated ejaculations use up al body's semen and hence further ejaculate can be dry, or Blocked sperm duct (ejaculatory duct obstruction), Certain medications used to treat high blood pressure, enlarged prostate and mood disorders, Genetic abnormalities of the reproductive system, Male hypogonadism (testosterone deficiency), retrograde ejaculation is common cause of dry ejaculate. Any surgery done over prostate, urethra could also cause.. sometimes dehydration also causes less semen.. have more fluids, don't be anxious about this, have proper nutritious food, maintain hygiene in private parts.. consult sexologist and urologist once.. there is nothing to be ashamed or scared to visit doctor for this problem since your single, as this needs evaluation and treatment as this could lead to infertility in future.
