  1. Circumcision and Premature Ejaculation:

    • Circumcision is not a reliable or recommended treatment for premature ejaculation (PE).
    • PE involves ejaculating sooner than desired and can have complex causes, including psychological and medical factors.
  2. Understanding Circumcision:

    • It involves the surgical removal of the foreskin, often for medical, cultural, or religious reasons.
    • Scientific evidence does not support it as a cure for PE.
  3. Effective Treatments for PE:

    • Behavioral techniques and counseling.
    • Topical anesthetics and medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
  4. Recommendation:

    • Consult a urologist or sexual health specialist for personalized advice and treatment options. Avoid considering circumcision solely as a solution for PE without professional guidance.

I've got a 6.2mm stone in my left kidney, and I'm wondering if it's possible to flush it out just by drinking lots of water. Is there any chance I could avoid taking medicine for this?

I've been dealing with some issues since I was diagnosed with a kidney stone about 10 days ago. I took Tamsin medicine on the night of January 28th, and the next morning, I fainted and had really low blood pressure, like 9060. Since then, my systolic blood pressure's been high, between 140-160, even though I stopped taking the medicine. Its concerning because I also get numbness in my arms sometimes. Could you help me figure out whats going on? Here are some of my blood pressure readings: On January 29th, at 9 am it was 9060, then 16080 at 11 am and 3 pm, and 15080 at 7 pm. On January 30th, it was 13080 at 10 am and 15080 at 8 pm. Then on January 31st, it was 12480 at 9:30 am, and on February 2nd, it was 14080 at 4:30 pm. What should I do?

It seems like you may have experienced a side effect from the Tamsulosin medication, which is commonly used for kidney stones but can sometimes cause low blood pressure and dizziness. Since you have already stopped the Tamsulosin, but are still experiencing high blood pressure and numbness in your arms, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to manage your blood pressure by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

my dad has a 7mm calculus in his left mid ureter and the doctor recommended urs surgery can we wait a bit longer to see if it passes naturally or is surgery urgent

A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.
