I'm a bit concerned after having sex for the first time this past Friday night. I've noticed some pain in my penis because the skin seems to have peeled. The front part has gotten pretty red too. The pain's a bit better than a couple of days ago, but it's still there. Do you have any advice on what I should do?

To alleviate the discomfort, apply a topical antibiotic cream, keep the area clean, and avoid further irritation if the pain persists, or you experience difficulty urinating, increased redness, or swelling, consult a urologist for further guidance.

I've had a 5mm kidney stone on the left side for the past 3 months and medicines haven't worked. What surgery or treatment can help remove it quickly?

For a 5mm kidney stone that hasn't passed with conservative measures, several surgical and minimally invasive procedures can be used for quick removal. These include shock wave lithotripsy, ureteroscopy, and percutaneous nephrolithotomy. While a 5mm stone can sometimes pass on its own, prolonged discomfort or complications may warrant intervention.
