I have a 4mm calculus in my left vesicoureteric junction and mild left hydroureteronephrosis, plus a 2mm microlith in the interpolar region of my left kidney. Should I be considering surgery for this or are there other treatment options? I'm a bit worried about what this means for my kidney health.

View allWhat are the non-surgical treatment options for grade 23 varicocele and are there any medicines that can actually cure it without needing surgery
For a Grade 2 or 3 varicocele, non-surgical options like embolization (blocking the affected veins) and lifestyle changes are available, but no medications can cure it. Embolization is often preferred for its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery. Lifestyle changes, such as wearing supportive underwear, can help manage symptoms

I'm really worried about my health because of my past habits, and I need some advice. I've noticed that after years of excessive masturbation, things are starting to change for the worse now that I'm 21. I used to do it up to 34 times a day, and it has left me with some concerning issues. My nerves feel really weak, my penis bends to the left, and I can't seem to remember things as well as I used to. I also experience muscular pain and sometimes gastritis, and my mindset isn't great either; the fear of dying is always hovering over me. Blood circulation doesn't seem right, and I've got low sperm and hemoglobin counts. On top of that, I keep having wet dreams way too frequently. I really want to regain my vitality, vigor, and overall strength. Can you give me some guidance on how to turn these things around?
It sounds like youre going through a challenging time, but the good news is that many of your concerns can improve with lifestyle changes. Focus on healthy habits like balanced nutrition, regular exercise, staying hydrated, and practicing relaxation techniques. Consider speaking to a healthcare professional to rule out any underlying conditions and get personalized guidance on managing stress and improving your overall health. Remember, recovery is possible with time and effort.

While having sex, I've noticed random cuts on the skin of my penis, and my partner experiences a burning sensation around the opening of her vagina. Could this be something serious? Sometimes we don't use protection. Also, I'm curious if there's a chance that kits might give incorrect results. Can you help with this?
The random cuts on your penis skin and your partner's burning sensation around the vaginal opening during sex could be indicative of a sexually transmitted infection (STI), such as herpes, HPV, or genital warts, or other conditions like genital eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis; the lack of protection during sex increases the risk of STI transmission; regarding the accuracy of STI test kits, while they are generally reliable, there is a small chance of false negatives or false positives, so it's essential to consult a urologist
