I'm curious about something that's been worrying me. I've been masturbating daily for the last six months and I'm concerned about whether this could be harmful or have any side effects. How often is it okay to masturbate? I'm also a bit anxious because I haven't had any children yet. Could this habit affect my marriage or my chances of having children in the future? I would appreciate some guidance on this.

I've noticed that the skin on the upper part of my penis doesn't open up properly, and the last time I had sex, it started bleeding and was really painful. I'm not sure what to do about it. Could you give me some advice?

It sounds like you may have experienced a condition called **phimosis**, where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully. It's important to avoid any further trauma to the area. I recommend seeing a healthcare provider, preferably a urologist, for a proper examination and treatment options, which may include topical treatments or, in some cases, a minor surgical procedure.

I'm currently in the hospital for a bad pain I was having, and they found a 5.7mm stone near my kidney. It shrank to 3mm, and now I'm thinking about switching to homeopathic treatment. Is it wise to leave the hospital for that? I've heard about this leaf called pather chatta that might help. Should I go for it, or could the pain come back?

Possible Causes_ 1. _Insufficient lubrication_: As you mentioned, inadequate lubrication during sex can cause friction, leading to swelling and pain. 2. _Vaginal infections_: Yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, or other infections can cause swelling, pain, and discomfort. 3. _Irritation or allergic reactions_: Exposure to certain products, such as soaps, douches, or condoms, can cause irritation and allergic reactions. 4. _Trauma or injury_: Physical trauma or injury to the vaginal area can cause swelling and pain. _Self-Care and Remedies_ 1. _Apply cold compresses_: A cold compress or an ice pack wrapped in a cloth can help reduce swelling and ease pain. 2. _Keep the area clean_: Gently clean the vaginal area with mild soap and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh products or douching. 3. _Use lubricants_: Apply a water-based or silicone-based lubricant during sex to reduce friction and discomfort. 4. _Avoid irritants_: Refrain from using products that may cause irritation, such as scented soaps or bubble baths. _When to Seek Medical Attention_ 1. _Severe pain or swelling_: If the pain or swelling is severe, or if you experience difficulty walking or urinating. 2. _Discharge or odor_: If you notice an unusual discharge or a strong, unpleasant odor. 3. _Fever_: If you have a fever over 101.5F (38.6C). 4. _Persistent symptoms_: If the symptoms persist or worsen despite self-care and remedies.

I have a 7x5 mm kidney stone stuck in my left VUJ. Is there a chance it can pass on its own with just water and meds or will I need surgery?
