I've been dealing with kidney stones that are 5mm in size in both of my kidneys, and it's really starting to worry me. The scan showed some obstruction in my right ureter, but the docs couldn't actually spot the stone there. What should I do next, and is this something I should be really concerned about? How can they not find the stone if its causing a blockage? I'm just trying to figure out what my options are and how serious this might be. Any advice would be great.

I've been regularly having oral sex with my wife and I'm wondering if it's safe. Are there any precautions we should be aware of?

Oral sex with your wife is generally safe if both of you are healthy and practice good hygiene. It's important to ensure both partners are free from any infections or sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Regular dental checkups and using barriers like dental dams can help reduce risks, along with maintaining open communication about sexual health.
