A penile fracture, which is a tear in the covering of the penis, is considered a urological emergency and usually requires surgery to avoid long-term complications. While some sources suggest immediate surgery, others acknowledge that it can be performed within 24-48 hours. Delaying surgery can increase the risk of complications

I have a 9mm stone in my right ureter and I'm really worried. Can it pass naturally if I drink a lot of water or is surgery the only option? I get pain and vomiting often but not constantly. Are there any natural remedies that might help? I really don't want to go through surgery if possible.

A 9mm kidney stone in the right ureter can be managed through medical intervention or surgery, depending on the stone's composition and your symptoms. While drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, can help, it might not be sufficient for a stone of that size. It's recommended to seek medical advice, as other treatments like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopy might be necessary

I'm dealing with a bit of an issue. I masturbate every day, and sometimes my penis gets really dry, especially after going at it continuously. After I ejaculate, it becomes quite painful, almost unbearable for a moment, and occasionally I notice some urine leakage. The pain doesn't last long, but it's pretty intense, and my penis feels numb afterward. It just doesn't feel right. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?
