Yes, anxiety both directly and indirectly in the form of other health conditions (Heart disease, high blood pressure/cholesterol, obesity) can cause erectile dysfunction.

Question

I woke up this morning with really bad pain and found out I have a 10mm stone stuck in my ureter at the EVJ. I'm worried I might need surgery. Is there a chance homeopathic medicine could help me avoid surgery? And if it doesnt work, would a lithotripsy be a good alternative? My whole family has issues with uric acid, so I think it might be a uric acid stone.

Question

I'm really concerned because a few years ago, I had a laparoscopic stent implantation done through the urethral opening when I was 21. During that procedure, they had to slightly remove the prepuce because the glans penis was completely covered since I was a kid. Only a tiny opening was there for urine. After they opened the preputial orifice, the skin was soft, pinkish-white, and super sensitive. But about a year later, I noticed a black spot there. There's no growth, it's just a spot, and I'm really confused about what it could be. Is this a lentigo or something else I should be worried about? Can you help me figure this out?

Question

I had sex last night and now my glans are exposed, and the skin isn't retracting. Is that normal? It feels uncomfortable rubbing against my clothes since it's such a sensitive area. What should I do?
