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.

View allI've been dealing with a UTI for the last ten days and have been taking medicines like Citralka syrup, Niftran, and Drotin M. However, my urine is still pale yellow, and my urinalysis showed 10-15 pus cells, with the culture coming back negative. How much longer will it take until I'm feeling better? I'm really getting tired of this.

I'm thinking about trying out this condom brand called Durex Extra Time. It has benzocaine, I think about 5%, and I've never used it before. I heard it might numb the tip of the penis a bit to help delay ejaculation. Are these kinds of condoms safe to use regularly? Could using them often have any negative effects on my penis or overall health?
Durex Extra Time condoms, which contain benzocaine (a mild local anesthetic), are generally considered safe for use. They work by numbing the tip of the penis to help delay ejaculation. However, using them frequently may lead to temporary numbness or irritation for some individuals. If you experience any discomfort or allergic reactions, it's best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

I'm noticing that my penis sometimes shrinks in the middle and looks kind of out of proportion. It's strange because I haven't had any kind of sexual experience, although I do masturbate. This happens either after I masturbate, before taking a hot shower, or just randomly during the day when I look at it. But whenever I get an erection, everything seems normal. It's only an issue when it's flaccid. Is this something I should be worried about? Could masturbation be causing damage, or is this just a normal thing? I'm really hoping for some advice.
It sounds like you're experiencing temporary changes in the size and appearance of your penis when flaccid, which is completely normal. The size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, or even anxiety. Masturbation does not cause permanent damage; if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.
