A 7x5 mm stone at the vesicoureteral junction (VUJ) can be treated with medication or surgery depending on individual factors. While some stones this size might pass naturally with medical expulsion therapy (MET), including pain management and increasing fluids, surgical intervention may be necessary, especially if the stone is causing obstruction or infection. The decision will depend on factors like the stone's location, your symptoms, overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option

I've been having to pee every 15 minutes and it feels like my bladder isn't emptying completely. My diabetes and UTI tests came back normal could this still be a urinary tract issue or something more serious that might need surgery?

Yes, frequent urination with a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying, even with normal diabetes and UTI test results, can still be a urinary tract issue. It could be a sign of overactive bladder, interstitial cystitis, or other problems, some of which might require surgical intervention.

I'm feeling really dissatisfied with my sex life. My wife and I only manage to have sex once at night, and unfortunately, it's very shortonly around 45 minutes. I really need some advice on how to have more sex and maybe even make it last longer. I'd also love some tips on making my penis longer. Can you help?

It's important to address concerns about sexual health with a balanced approach. Focus on communication with your wife, as emotional connection can improve intimacy. You can consider techniques like the "start-stop" method to extend intercourse time, and consult a healthcare provider for personalized advice on stamina, any underlying conditions, or safe options for enhancing sexual health.
