I'm experiencing a sharp pain on the lower left side of my chest whenever I hold my urine for a long time. I have a history of gastritis and kidney stones, and I'm also dealing with frequent urination and sneezing. Could there be a connection between these issues? I'm a bit worried.

The sharp pain on the lower left side of your chest could be related to muscle strain from holding urine or referred pain from your kidney stones. Given your history of gastritis, it's also possible that acid reflux or digestive issues could contribute. It would be best to consult a doctor to rule out any serious concerns and discuss your symptoms in detail.

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.
