I found out that I have a 4.5mm calculus in my left kidney, and now I'm really worried about what I should eat to keep these stones from forming again. I already drink about 3 liters of water every day, so I'm wondering if there's a specific diet I should follow. What do you recommend?

-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.

Question

I've noticed that my penis, when flaccid and stretched, tends to bend to the left at about a 30 to 40-degree angle. I'm worried if this is normal. Is there any way to fix it, maybe some device that could help straighten it out? I'm really looking for some guidance on how I can get my flaccid bend straightened. Any advice would be really appreciated.
