I'm a bit concerned after a recent ultrasound showed multiple echogenic foci in my right kidney and a small single echogenic foci in my left kidney, ranging from about 3mm to 6mm in size. Does this mean I might have kidney stones, or could it be something else?

View allI've been having this issue for a couple of months now where my penis has lost its sensitivity, and I am not feeling any pleasure from things that used to excite me visually or in real life. Although I can still get an erection when I masturbate, it's like I can't get a strong erection at any other time, sometimes only semi-hard. I started noticing this after doing some jelqing exercises, when suddenly everything felt off, so I stopped. There's this vein under my penis that's turned reddish, too. I usually masturbate only every 7 to 10 days. I'm unmarried and unemployed, and I'm really worried about this. Could you help me figure out what's going on and how I can get back to how things were before?
I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. It sounds like you may be dealing with some nerve sensitivity issues or vascular changes, possibly triggered by excessive or improper exercise. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional, such as a urologist, who can conduct a thorough evaluation and guide you on appropriate treatments or lifestyle adjustments to restore normal function.

_Lumps on the Body: Possible Causes and Next Steps_ I understand your concern, especially with your plans to join the army. Lumps on the body can be caused by various factors, and it's essential to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis. _Possible Causes of Lumps:_ 1. _Lipoma_: A benign growth of fat cells, usually soft and movable. 2. _Sebaceous cyst_: A benign cyst filled with a cheesy, fatty material. 3. _Abscess_: A pocket of pus caused by a bacterial infection. 4. _Lymphadenopathy_: Enlarged lymph nodes, which can be caused by infection, inflammation, or cancer. 5. _Hematoma_: A collection of blood outside of blood vessels, often caused by injury. _Cancer Risk:_ While it's natural to worry about cancer, most lumps are benign. However, it's crucial to consult a doctor to rule out any potential cancer risks. _Next Steps:_ 1. _Consult a doctor_: Schedule an appointment with a primary care physician or a dermatologist. 2. _Physical examination_: The doctor will examine the lumps and assess their size, shape, texture, and mobility. 3. _Diagnostic tests_: The doctor may order imaging tests (e.g., ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI) or a biopsy to determine the cause of the lumps. 4. _Treatment_: Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include surgery, antibiotics, or observation. _Army Recruitment:_ Once you've received a diagnosis and treatment plan, you can discuss your eligibility for army recruitment with your doctor. They can provide guidance on any necessary documentation or clearance. Stay calm, and prioritize your health. Consult a doctor as soon as possible to determine the cause of the lumps and receive proper guidance.

I'm really worried about some issues I've been having since I quit masturbating a year ago. I started when I was 14 and I've heard it can cause issues both mentally and physically. But since I stopped, I've been dealing with things like fatigue, eye floaters, lower back pain, semen leakage, and watery semen. Is it normal to feel so confused and depressed about this, and how can I get relief from these symptoms?
