I'm dealing with pain in my stomach and kidney because of a 7 mm stone in my left kidney. Could you tell me if I need surgery to get rid of the stone or are there other options I should consider?

View allI have a 9mm kidney stone and I'm trying to decide between RIRS and ureteroscopy which one would be better for my case? I'm a bit confused about the pros and cons of each procedure
For a 9mm kidney stone, RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) is generally preferred over ureteroscopy (URS) because it's more effective and minimally invasive for stones located in the kidney itself. While both are effective, RIRS is often favored for larger or more complex stones in the kidney, while URS is more commonly used for stones in the ureter.

I've been regularly having oral sex with my wife and I'm wondering if it's safe. Are there any precautions we should be aware of?
Oral sex with your wife is generally safe if both of you are healthy and practice good hygiene. It's important to ensure both partners are free from any infections or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Regular dental checkups and using barriers like dental dams can help reduce risks, along with maintaining open communication about sexual health.

I'm really struggling with lasting longer during sex and it's been affecting my relationship. I've heard that some medications might help with controlling or delaying ejaculation, but I'm worried about whether this can actually solve the issue permanently. Can anyone give advice on how to increase the time, or if medication is a good route to take? Would appreciate any insights on this topic.
To increase sexual endurance, techniques like **squeeze method**, **start-stop method**, and practicing mindfulness can help control ejaculation. Medications like **SSRIs** or **topical anesthetics** may temporarily improve control, but they don't offer permanent solutions. Consulting a healthcare provider can help identify underlying causes and create a tailored approach.
