I'm currently weighing 67 kg and have been on the AKT4 kit for about a month now, taking it every day. I recently went through the guidelines and noticed that the amounts of ethambutol and isoniazid I'm getting are lower than what's recommended for my weight. Specifically, it seems like my dose of ethambutol is 400 mg less and isoniazid is 300 mg less than what's suggested. Should I be worried about this affecting my treatment for extrapulmonary tuberculosis in epididymitis?

It's important to follow the prescribed dosage for your condition, as the dosages in the AKT4 kit are typically based on standard treatment guidelines. Since your weight requires slightly higher doses of Ethambutol and Isoniazid, discuss this with your doctor to ensure the treatment is effective and adjusted for your needs.

I'm really concerned because I was diagnosed with 3mm kidney stones a couple of months ago, and despite taking KCIT syrup, I'm still experiencing pain in my lower abdomen, groin area, and around my penis. How long does it usually take for these symptoms to go away? Is there something else I should be doing or taking to help the situation?

My penis size is quite small and I'm really concerned about it. I want to increase both the length and girth naturally without surgery. Are there any safe and effective methods to do this while also staying healthy? I'd prefer non-surgical options if possible.

It's common to worry about penis size, but most men fall within a normal range. There are no proven natural methods to significantly increase length or girth safely. Focus on overall health—regular exercise, a balanced diet, managing stress, and avoiding smoking can improve blood flow and sexual function. If concerns persist, consider consulting a urologist for personalized advice.

I'm a 33-year-old married guy who's been having some trouble with my sex life for about a year now. I used to be really into it, especially with my last girlfriend who was amazing in bed, but since she left, things have gone downhill. I can't seem to get an erection, or if I do, it doesn't last long. I only manage to have sex every couple of weeks, and even that's pretty rare. Lately, I can't sleep well and have been feeling kind of down. Masturbation doesn't help much either, at best I can do it once every few days. What can I do to get back to normal? I really need some advice.
