Tight foreskin causing discomfort during erection may respond to corticosteroid cream and stretching;circumcision is an option if non-surgical fails.

I'm really concerned because it's been two years since I've had morning erections. I can't figure out what's causing this. Can you help me understand what's happening?

It's understandable to feel concerned, but morning erections can vary for many reasons, including stress, lifestyle changes, or underlying health conditions like hormonal imbalances or blood circulation issues. I recommend speaking to a healthcare provider to assess your situation and provide 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.
