Had emergency kidney stone surgery last Thursday and still have the urethra stent in. I've called the urologist's office multiple times but keep getting the runaround it's been five days now and I'm really worried. What should I do about getting the stent removed?

It's understandable that you're concerned about the ureteral stent after your emergency kidney stone surgery. After five days, it's important to clarify your situation and get the stent removed. If you haven't been given specific instructions about removing it yourself (with a string attached), you should contact your urologist again and request a removal appointment

Are bananas good for urinary tract infections (UTIs)?

Bananas and other fiber-rich foods are indeed good for preventing urinary tract infections. They aid proper bowel movement, which helps keep pressure off of the urinary tract. So urine flow is unobstructed, ensuring that bacteria build-up does not happen.

I'm curious if masturbation can have any impact on my physical or mental health. I usually do it once or twice a week, and I'm wondering if it could cause me to lose weight or affect me in other ways. Could you help me understand this?

I'm a bit concerned about my penis length, it's about 15cm. I'm not sure if that's enough for a good sexual life and it's affecting my confidence a little. Should I be worried about this?

A penis length of 15 cm is within the average range, and it's important to remember that sexual satisfaction is influenced by many factors, such as emotional connection, communication, and overall health. Confidence and intimacy are more significant than size, so don't worry; focus on building a healthy relationship and self-confidence.
