I just got my ultrasound report showing a tiny kidney stone in the right middle calyx and a 6mm UVJ stone on the left side with mild hydroureteronephrosis - how serious is this? Can these stones pass naturally or will I need surgery?

Less than 10 % stones of size more than 6mm pass spontaneously... Try drinking more water.... Consult a Nephrologist.. You will medications to aid in passing the stone..

I've been going to the bathroom a lot after getting my first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, and I also had a fever last night. I spent the entire night having to urinate every half hour. I'm really worriedis this a side effect of the vaccine or could it be something else?

Frequent urination after a COVID-19 vaccine isn't a common side effect, but the fever you experienced might have triggered increased urination due to fluid intake or changes in your body's response. If this continues or worsens, it's a good idea to consult a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

I've been experiencing something a bit odd and I'm not sure if I should be worried. When I start off, everything seems fine and I get an erection, but after about 23 minutes, I go soft. However, if I take a little break and focus on kissing, it gets erect again. Is this a normal pattern, or is there something I should be concerned about?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.
