Can I take a Cialis or Viagra tablet before having sex, and would I be able to get it from a pharmacy? Is there another tablet I can buy at a pharmacy for a longer-lasting erection? Also, I live in Chennai.

Persistent throat discomfort and sensations of something being stuck can be concerning.
Given your symptoms and previous endoscopy, possible causes include:
- Acid reflux (GERD)
- Laryngopharyngeal reflux
- Allergies or sinus issues
- Irritation from spicy food
Consult your ENT doctor again to discuss:
- Adjusting medications or adding new ones
- Lifestyle changes (diet, posture, stress management)
- Further testing or procedures if needed

View allHad circumcision surgery a month ago on May 5th but still can't wear underwear directly using cotton to cover it. The stitches haven't dissolved yet and there's high sensitivity in the open area, plus some pain when touching the stitches. How much longer until it heals completely and I can get back to normal?
Wear loose clothing for example: pyjamas, tracksuit bottoms for the first few days. It is advisable to try and avoid wearing underwear, do so until you feel comfortable enough to resume wearing them. It is advisable especially if your work is heavy (manual, driving) to stay off work for at least one week.

I've recently been diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone and a cyst in my testicle. Ever since I started taking Himalaya Cystone and homeopathic Berberis Vulgaris for them, I've been having some issues with erections. Is that normal? Should I be worried about these side effects?
Erectile issues are not typically caused by medications like **Himalaya Cystone** or **Berberis Vulgaris**, but stress or anxiety related to your kidney stone and testicular cyst diagnosis might contribute. If this persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying hormonal or vascular causes.
