I recently found out I have a 7mm stone in my left kidney, and I'm worried about whether it's dangerous or not. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery, so are there any good treatments out there for this? Would love to hear more about my options.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed this small bump on the side of my urinary meatus. It's been there for about two months now, and even though it's not causing any pain or discomfort, it hasn't gone away or changed at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own?

I'm a bit concerned because I had intercourse with my wife around 5 pm, and when we tried again at 8 pm, I noticed that I didn't ejaculate. I'm not sure what's going on, and it's got me worried. Could there be a reason or an issue I should be aware of?

It is not uncommon for some men to experience delayed ejaculation, where there is a delay or difficulty in ejaculating. This can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. It is important to address any underlying issues that may be contributing to this problem. If this issue persists, you may consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
