View allI'm really concerned about whether spermatorrhea is more of a psychological issue or an actual disease. Also, how can it be treated? Additionally, I'm confused about how to figure out if semen is being passed through my urine. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Spermatorrhea is typically not a disease but a condition where semen is involuntarily released, often due to psychological stress, anxiety, or physical causes like excessive sexual activity. It can be managed through a combination of lifestyle changes, stress reduction, and sometimes medication. To confirm if semen is passing with urine, a physical examination or urine test may be necessary to assess the presence of semen.

I'm a bit worried about my habit of frequent masturbation, especially since I'm in the 15 to 22 age range. I've read some stuff on Google saying that doing it often when you're young can lead to early prostate cancer. Is there any truth to this, or is it just a myth? I usually masturbate twice a day and it's got me concerned about my future. Could you provide some guidance on this?

Found a 6mm stone at the UV junction in my left kidney should I consider surgery or can medication take care of it? Worried about the best approach to treat this
A 6mm kidney stone at the UV junction may be managed with medication or surgery, depending on the specific situation and your individual circumstances. Medication, such as Tamsulosin, can help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage. If the stone is causing significant pain or obstruction, or if medical management fails, surgical options like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy may be considered
