I'm dealing with paraphimosis and considering circumcision are there any side effects I should know about before going through with the surgery? Just want to make sure it's the right move for me.

With quick, proper treatment, the outlook for paraphimosis is very good. But if you can't put your foreskin back into position by yourself after treatment, you run the risk of getting paraphimosis again. That's why healthcare providers usually suggest circumcision.

I found out that I have a 4.5mm calculus in my left kidney, and now I'm really worried about what I should eat to keep these stones from forming again. I already drink about 3 liters of water every day, so I'm wondering if there's a specific diet I should follow. What do you recommend?

-Keep drinking plenty of water to stay hydrated and prevent stone formation. Adjust your diet by reducing oxalate-rich foods and limiting salt and animal protein. Regular follow-ups with your doctor will ensure you're on the right track.
