I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.

Question

I've been thinking about ways to enhance the size of my penis and also improve my sexual fitness and activity levels. I'm concerned about how to approach this safely and effectively. Can you advise on what steps I can take or what treatments might be safe and effective for these goals?

Question

I'm on medication with three drugs: veltamf, bacstol 200, and benocide forte, because of an infection I've had for five days now. Since I started taking them, I've noticed I can't ejaculate. Is this a side effect of the medications or is it something else I should be worried about?

Question

I'm having this weird cold chill sensation at the tip of my penis every now and then. My urine and STD tests came back normal, which is a relief, but I'm still bothered by this feeling. I've been taking meds for angular stomatitis, and Matilda forte for some rare penis numbness I'd occasionally get when sitting cross-legged for too long, but the numbness has been improving. The chillness is super irritating, and it's hard for me to describe it properly to my GP. I noticed if I drink a couple of glasses of water or wash the area with warm water, it might get a bit better or just disappear, not totally sure. I have this theory that these sensations started after I was on some meds for a minor skin infection, and had to suddenly stop them when I was told to just drink a lot of water, which I never felt this way before. Could you help me figure out whats going on?
