I'm a bit concerned about my penis. It's been slightly curved since I was young, and when it's not erect, it seems really small. When it is erect, it's about 4.5 inches. Plus, my foreskin doesn't really pull back much when I'm hard, and I'm not sure if that's normal. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to worry about?

It's completely normal for some men to have a slight curvature in their penis, and it can vary in size when flaccid or erect. The difficulty pulling back your foreskin when erect could indicate a condition called phimosis, which is treatable. I recommend consulting a urologist for a proper evaluation and advice on potential treatment options.

I've been doing this thing called bed humping since I was in 6th or 7th grade. Now when I try to have real sex, my penis gets hard at first but then the hardness just goes away. Is this something I should be worried about?

Your experience with bed humping masturbation may have led to a condition known as "death grip syndrome," where the brain becomes accustomed to the intense stimulation and pressure, making it challenging to maintain an erection during real sex; consider speaking with a sex therapist or healthcare professional to address this issue and explore techniques to improve your sexual performance and overall satisfactio

I found out that I have a 4.5mm calculus in my left kidney, and now I'm really worried about what I should eat to keep these stones from forming again. I already drink about 3 liters of water every day, so I'm wondering if there's a specific diet I should follow. What do you recommend?

-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.
