Found out I have a 6mm kidney stone and I'm really worried do I need surgery or can drinking lots of water help pass it naturally? What should I do next to manage this?

A 6mm kidney stone may be difficult to pass naturally and might require medical intervention, but drinking plenty of water can help. While a 6mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own compared to smaller stones, increased hydration can still help. Consult a doctor to discuss treatment options, which may include medical management or surgery.

I'm a bit concerned about a situation I've been experiencing. Whenever I imagine having sex, my sperm seems to come out without any physical stimulation like rubbing my penis. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried this might create problems for me when I do get married. Could this indicate that Im dealing with some kind of medical issue? What should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing **premature ejaculation** or **nocturnal emissions** (wet dreams), which are common in many men, especially when experiencing sexual thoughts or fantasies. This isn't typically a sign of any disease but could be related to heightened sexual arousal or stress. If you're concerned or if it affects your daily life, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.

Ive been feeling a bit self-conscious about my flaccid penis sizeit seems small to me. But when I get an erection, it almost doubles in size. My testis seem normal, but the fluctuating size of my flaccid penis sometimes makes me worry. Some days it looks normal, and other days it seems very small. Is this something I should be concerned about?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as a retractile penis, where the penis appears smaller than usual when flaccid but increases in size upon erection. This can be a source of concern for many men, but it is important to know that it is not typically a sign of any serious medical issue. However, if this is causing you distress or affecting your confidence, you may consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. In terms of medications, there are no specific drugs to address this issue. However, if you are looking to improve erectile function, you may consider medications such as Viagra (Sildenafil) or Cialis (Tadalafil) under the guidance of a healthcare provider. These medications can help improve blood flow to the penis and enhance erectile function. It is important to use these medications at the prescribed dosage and follow the recommendations of your healthcare provider.
