I'm really concerned because for the past couple of days, I've been having trouble getting an erection, whether I'm trying to be intimate with my partner or even just watching porn. What could be causing this issue, and should I be worried about it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend trying a medication like Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg about 30 minutes to 1 hour before sexual activity. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

View allI have a 16mm stone in my left kidney and a 14mm stone in my right kidney. The urologist is suggesting laparoscopy for the left one but I really don't want surgery. Are there any other options to avoid going under the knife?
For your 16mm kidney stone, there's a good chance you'll need some form of intervention, but surgery isn't always the only option. While laparoscopy is a minimally invasive surgical option, other non-surgical techniques like shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or ureteroscopic lithotripsy (URSL) might be considered. Your urologist may also recommend retrograde intrarenal surgery (RIRS) for larger stones. The best approach will depend on the specific characteristics of your stones and your overall health

I'm wondering if guys experience bleeding when they have sex for the first time. And if they do, how long does it usually take to heal? Id appreciate your insight on this.
It is possible for some boys to experience minor bleeding during their first sexual intercourse, especially if there is not enough lubrication or if there is some tearing of the skin. This usually heals on its own within a few days to a week. To help with the healing process and reduce discomfort, you can use an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin and keep the area clean. If the bleeding persists or if there is excessive pain, it is important to seek medical advice

I'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?
Severe mouth ulcers can be painful and frustrating. Given your current treatment, here are some additional suggestions: *Additional Remedies* 1. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply a topical anesthetic like Orajel or Lidocaine to numb the area and reduce pain. 2. *Antimicrobial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial growth and promote healing. 3. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 4. *Vitamin C supplements*: Take vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system and promote collagen synthesis. *Dietary Changes* 1. *Soft food diet*: Stick to a soft food diet to minimize irritation and discomfort. 2. *Avoid spicy and acidic foods*: Avoid consuming spicy, acidic, or sharp foods that can irritate the ulcer. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist and promote healing. *Medical Consultation* If your mouth ulcer doesn't show signs of improvement within the next 2-3 days, consult your doctor or a dentist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe additional medications or treatments to promote healing.
