I'm wondering about the safety of masturbating when I have a kidney urethral stent placed inside me. Could this cause any problems or issues with my stent or my health?

Urethral stent should not cause any problem during masturbation, although it may be best to avoid it for fear of damage to nearby structures.

I'm 28 and have been masturbating for over a decade. The last couple of days, I noticed that my penis isn't getting erect and it seems smaller than usual. What should I do about this?

I'm having a lot of discomfort on my right side and just found out I have a kidney stone. They gave me some painkillers and did an ultrasound showing it's about 3.9 mm. Is there a good chance this will pass on its own with urine? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Urologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been feeling worried about my penis size. It's around 6 inches long but not very thick, and I've heard that thickness can be really important for sexual intercourse. I'm wondering if there's a doctor here who can help me with this. Are there any medicines or other methods that can help increase my penis thickness? It's something I'd really like to improve.

It's completely normal to have concerns about body image, but it's important to understand that size and thickness are often less significant than factors like intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. There are no proven medications or treatments for increasing penis thickness. If you're still concerned, I recommend speaking to a urologist for personalized advice and support.
