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 having issues with my penis not staying firm during sex, and I'm also experiencing quick ejaculation. I've been masturbating for a few years, and I'm wondering what I can do to have stronger and longer-lasting erections. Could you give me some advice or any suggestions?

Erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. To help improve the strength of your erections and prolong intercourse, you can try taking medications like sildenafil or tadalafil. These medications help increase blood flow to the penis, resulting in stronger and longer-lasting erections. Additionally, practicing techniques to delay ejaculation, such as the start-stop method or the squeeze technique, can also be helpful. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and managing stress to improve your sexual health.

my dad has a 7mm calculus in his left mid ureter and the doctor recommended urs surgery can we wait a bit longer to see if it passes naturally or is surgery urgent

A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.
