I'm a guy and I've been wondering if it's okay to masturbate while standing up before taking a shower. Is that normal, or could it put too much pressure on my penis? I'd really appreciate any advice or tips you might have on this.

My dad had prostate surgery 3 years ago but still has urinary retention issues and has been dealing with prostate problems for like 20 years. The doctor just put in a urine drainage bag. Is this normal after so many years of prostate issues or should we be worried about something else going on?

Yes, long-standing prostate issues can lead to bladder damage and retention even after surgery. A urologist may assess for bladder dysfunction or urethral narrowing with urodynamic studies.

I've been having frequent urination issues and a CT scan showed a 10x3.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 2.5 mm one in my left kidney. Can homeopathy help dissolve these stones and how long would it take or is surgery the only option? Also, could these stones cause kidney damage if they don't pass right away?
