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'm facing a really painful issue. Every time I have sex or my partner gives me oral, my foreskin tears, and it's really hurting a lot. It's especially painful if I try to have sex within the next day or two after it happens. It usually takes around 23 days for it to heal completely. What can I do about this, and is there a way to prevent it from happening in the first place?
