I have phimosis but it's not like the typical cases I've read about there's no pain, swelling, or trouble peeing, and everything else seems normal. The only issue is I've never been able to retract my foreskin since birth. Are there any non-surgical ways to manage this? Could it cause problems later or affect sex?

View allFound a 5.7 mm stone in my right distal ureter near the UV junction on a CT scan. I've passed stones before but no pain right now. Is this one small enough to pass on its own or will I need surgery?
A 5.7mm kidney stone in the distal ureter, close to the ureterovesical junction (UVJ), has a chance of passing on its own but may require medical intervention. The exact likelihood of spontaneous passage depends on various factors, including the stone's shape and composition. While you haven't experienced pain, it's essential to monitor for signs of infection or pain and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance

I have a 3.8 cm stone and some smaller ones in my left kidney do I need surgery for this? And if yes, is it okay to wait until the first week of December or should I get it done sooner?
A 3.8 cm kidney stone and smaller ones in your left kidney likely require surgery. Waiting until the first week of December may not be advisable. Large stones (over 1 cm) rarely pass naturally and can cause severe pain, obstruction, or kidney damage. Early intervention is crucial, especially if you are experiencing pain, infection, or urinary tract obstruction.

Is it fine if I'm masturbating twice a week while I'm also working out pretty intensely? I'm a bit worried if this could have any impact on my muscle gains.
Yes, masturbating twice a week is perfectly normal and won't affect your muscle gains. Intense workouts and muscle growth depend on proper nutrition, rest, and consistent training. As long as you're maintaining these, occasional masturbation has no significant impact on your fitness progress.
