I was diagnosed with a 5 mm stone in my urinary bladder about a week ago, and my doctor told me to take veltam 0.4. The stone passed the very next day, and now, five days later, the ultrasound showed no signs of any abnormality or stone. I can't seem to reach my doctor at the moment, so I'm wondering if it's okay for me to stop taking the medicine now. What do you think?

I've been masturbating for the past 6 years without actually removing my clothes, like on my underwear. Is there any chance this could lead to an infection?

Masturbating in this manner may increase the risk of developing a genital infection due to the warm and moist environment created by the underwear. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. You can use antifungal creams like Clotrimazole 1% cream to prevent or treat any potential fungal infections.
