I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex and I can't seem to last more than 10 seconds. Can you recommend any tablets or treatments that could help me stay harder for at least 5 minutes?

So, I'm a bit worried about my 7-month-old son. He's got hydronephrosis in his left kidney and there's this PUJ obstruction. The doctor is saying he might need surgery.
