  1. Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may be allergic to latex, causing itching or irritation. Consider non-latex options if this occurs.

  2. Discomfort or Reduced Sensation: Condoms might cause slight discomfort or reduced sensitivity during intercourse.

  3. Breakage or Slipping: Improper use can lead to breakage or slipping, increasing risks of pregnancy or infections.

  4. Psychological Effects: Anxiety or distraction may occur, affecting the sexual experience.

If persistent irritation or discomfort occurs, consult a healthcare professional. Proper use enhances effectiveness and minimizes side effects.

Found out I have a 7.44mm kidney stone in my left kidney but no pain or urine issues so far will I need surgery for this?

A 7.44mm kidney stone in your left kidney, even without current pain or urine issues, may not necessarily require surgery, but it's important to consult with a doctor. While smaller stones can pass on their own, larger ones like this one may be more likely to cause problems down the line

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.
