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.

I've recently started having sex without using a condom, and I've noticed that my frenulum is bleeding. Is this something that's common, or should I be concerned?

It is not uncommon for the frenulum to tear or bleed during vigorous sexual activity, especially without the use of lubrication. To help with the healing process and prevent infection, you can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day and keep the area clean. It is also recommended to abstain from sexual activity until the area has fully healed to prevent further injury.
