I'm really concerned because I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past year, and it's been affecting my life in a big way. The doctor gave me some medicine to try, but I'm a bit anxious about whether it's safe and how effective it might be. Can you explain what I should expect from the treatment and if there are any side effects to watch out for?

It's important to address any concerns about sexual performance with your healthcare provider, as factors like stress, anxiety, or physical health may play a role. Instead of relying on capsules, focusing on relaxation, communication with your partner, and possibly seeing a specialist for personalized advice can be more effective for improving stamina.

I have a 10mm stone in my right kidney and a 5mm one in my left kidney will these pass on their own or do I need surgery?

A 10mm kidney stone is unlikely to pass on its own and will likely require surgical intervention. A 5mm stone has a higher chance of passing naturally, but it's also possible that it may require treatment depending on the individual's situation
