I'm a bit worried about some results I got from an ultrasound. It mentioned something called hydronephrosis on the right side, but it says the corticomedullary differentiation is okay on both sides. It also notes that the cortical parenchymal thickness is normal. There's a small calculus, like 9 mm, in the lower part of my left kidney. I'm not really sure what all this means. Should I be concerned about the hydronephrosis or the stone? Could this lead to something serious?

Question

I'm 26 and still a bachelor and a virgin. I've been worried because I've got this habit of masturbation, and I'm curious if it might affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. Could this be a problem for me later on?

Question

I'm a bit worried about something that happened after my circumcision about 45 days ago. The skin on my penis glans has become really dry, and I notice peeling and flaking, especially in the mornings when I wake up. It seems to get better after I take a bath. Is this something I should be concerned about, or does it just happen sometimes?
