I have a 67mm kidney stone stuck in my right ureter - is there any way to get rid of it without going through surgery? I'm really hoping for non-surgical options if possible

A 67mm stone usually needs surgical removal; non-surgical options are rarely effective at this size.

I'm experiencing a problem where I ejaculate too quickly during sex, and then when I try to go for a second round, I'm not able to continue. This wasn't an issue earlier in my marriage. I'm feeling a bit worried and confused about where to go for help. Should I see a urologist or a sexologist, or maybe consider ayurvedic treatments for this? What would be the best option?

-It's common to face such issues due to stress or lifestyle changes. You can consult a urologist or a sexual health specialist for evaluation and treatment options. Ayurveda can also help improve stamina and address concerns naturally.

What are the common symptoms of kidney damage or failure after a urethrotomy surgery for stricture? My kidneys were swollen before the procedure according to the radiologist and I'm a bit concerned about what signs to watch out for

Post-urethrotomy symptoms like fatigue, back pain, or reduced output may suggest kidney stress. Follow-up tests and nephrologist consult are important.

I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called **phimosis**, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.
