No, circumcision generally does not help with premature ejaculation. While some believe it can reduce sensitivity and thus help with premature ejaculation, studies have not found any significant effects on sexual function, including premature ejaculation

I'm 33 and married, but I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex. My sperm count seems fine, according to the reports. I'm wondering if taking tadalafil could help me when I'm trying to get my wife pregnant. Is this something that could work?

it works for erection but it has lot of side effects

I've been having this issue where I wake up in the middle of the night because of an unexpected ejaculation, and I have to rush to the bathroom. It's followed by a lot of urination. This is only the second time its happened, but I really want to stop this from becoming a bigger problem. Ive already cut out things like masturbation because it was affecting my concentration and mood, and I'm worried this involuntary discharge is going to have the same negative effects. I've understood how important it is to preserve seminal fluid and really want to make sure none is lost. I'm hoping you can help me out with this.

My dad just had an ultrasound done, and they found an 11 mm stone in his right kidney. He's not feeling any pain or discomfort right now. Should we be considering surgery, or are there medications that might help with this? What do you think?

11mm is a big stone. It is unlikely to pass on its own. Better to get it removed
