I had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?

It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.

I have 12mm and 6.3mm stones in both kidneys and my doctor recommended surgery to drill the kidney. I'm only 27 and really scared about going through this is surgery the only option or are there other treatments I can try at my age
While percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL), a surgery to drill the kidney, is a common option for larger kidney stones, it's not always the only treatment. Other options, like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) and ureteroscopy, can be considered, especially for smaller stones or if PCNL carries a higher risk due to your age or other factors. Medical management and lifestyle changes can also be effective for some cases, particularly when the stones are smaller and less likely to cause complications
