I'm really worried because I've noticed the hole in my penis seems to be getting larger, and I think it might be because Ive been masturbating a lot. Is there anything I can do to get it back to its original size?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as urethral meatal stenosis, where the opening of the urethra becomes enlarged. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In some cases, a topical steroid cream may be prescribed to help reduce the size of the opening. Additionally, if the enlargement is causing any discomfort or issues with urination, a surgical procedure called meatoplasty may be recommended to repair the opening of the urethra.

My dad is 65 and has multiple kidney stones around 25mm in size. He doesn't have BP or diabetes. Can these stones be treated with medicine or does he need surgery? What's the best option for someone his age?

For 25mm kidney stones, surgical intervention is generally recommended due to their size and likelihood of causing blockage or complications. Medications can be used to manage symptoms and prevent future stones, but they are unlikely to dissolve or pass stones of this size

I've been having some issues that are making me worried. I'm a 21-year-old male, and I've noticed that if I drink a lot of water, within just 15 to 30 minutes I get an urgent need to pee and can't seem to hold it for long. I end up going to the bathroom 2 to 3 times within an hour. Also, if I eat more than usual, I feel like I need to use the latrine right away. I do have a 7mm kidney stone, and my doctor advised me to drink plenty of water. But now, with these symptoms, I'm starting to wonder if they could be related to diabetes. Could that be a possibility? It's really starting to bother me, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.
