I'm 24 and my foreskin still covers the tip of my penis it doesn't retract back. Will this cause problems in my sex life? Is circumcision really necessary for having sex? I'd prefer not to get surgery. Should I be worried about this or is it normal?

Having a foreskin that doesn't fully retract (phimosis) isn't necessarily a problem and doesn't automatically mean you'll have difficulties with sex or need circumcision. It's a common condition, especially in young boys, and can even persist into adulthood for some.

View allI'm having some problems that are really concerning me. Firstly, during sex, I notice that my penis seems to lose its hardness and takes quite some time to get firm again. Secondly, I'm worried about the size of my penis because the circumference seems small to me. Also, I'm not sure if it's normal that it bends downward instead of being straight. Could you let me know what might be causing these issues or what I might be able to do?

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?
It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!

I have a 7mm kidney stone stuck in my right pelviureteric junction can medicines help pass it or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend?
A 7mm kidney stone lodged in the right pelviureteric junction (the junction where the kidney connects to the ureter) is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While medications can help with some types of kidney stones, they are generally ineffective for calcium stones, which are the most common type. Surgery is often recommended for stones of this size and location
