I'm using a Foley catheter every night because I have spina bifida and related urological issues since birth. Lately, for about 34 months, I've been having a lot of leakage. I've had repeated UTIs, but I still experience leakage even when there's no infection. Why might this be happening, and what can I do?

I'm really struggling with a masturbation addiction. It seems like every time I have some free time, I end up doing it. Sometimes it's as much as three or four times a day, and it's really starting to affect me. I can't seem to gain any weight either. Could there be a connection, and what can I do to manage this habit better?

Normal,nothing to worry ok.

I have a 3.3 mm kidney stone in the midpole of my left kidney according to the report. I've been sweating a lot and have pain on my left side that spreads to my back and groin. Will this pass on its own or do I need surgery or just some meds?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
