View allI'm feeling really down about the size of my penis. It's 5 inches when erect, which I think is around 12 cm. I'm worried if this is normal or if there's something wrong. Can you tell me if my size is within the normal range?
Your penis size of 5 inches (12 cm) when erect is within the normal range. The average erect penis size globally is around 5-5.5 inches, and size does not usually affect sexual satisfaction or fertility. Try to focus on overall health and confidence rather than size.

I've been struggling with premature ejaculation and it's causing a lot of stress and anxiety in my relationship. I've heard about lycopodium 1mg and I'm wondering if it actually helps with this issue. Also, can it address erectile dysfunction and the feelings of being overly excited or anxious during intimate moments? Its getting pretty frustrating and I'd really appreciate any advice.
_Thyroid Antibody Test Results and Thyroid Function: Understanding the Implications_ Given your test results, here's a breakdown of what they mean and recommendations for next steps: *Thyroid Antibody Test Results* 1. *Elevated Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) antibody*: A level greater than 1300 indicates the presence of autoimmune thyroiditis, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis. 2. *Normal Anti-Thyroglobulin (Tg) antibody*: A level of 28 is within the normal range, which suggests that the autoimmune response is primarily targeted against thyroid peroxidase (TPO) rather than thyroglobulin (Tg). *Thyroid Function Test Results* 1. *T3, T4, and TSH levels within normal ranges*: These results indicate that your thyroid gland is functioning normally, and hormone levels are within the expected ranges. *Vitamin D Level* 1. *Low Vitamin D level*: A level of 12 is considered deficient. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in immune system regulation and overall health. *Recommendations* 1. *Consult an endocrinologist*: Schedule an appointment with an endocrinologist to discuss your test results and determine the best course of action. 2. *Thyroid scan or ultrasound*: The endocrinologist may recommend a thyroid scan or ultrasound to evaluate the structure and function of your thyroid gland. 3. *Vitamin D supplementation*: Consider taking Vitamin D supplements to address the deficiency, as recommended by your healthcare provider. 4. *Monitoring and follow-up*: Regular monitoring of your thyroid function and antibody levels will help your healthcare provider adjust treatment plans as needed. Please consult an endocrinologist or a healthcare professional to discuss your specific situation and determine the best course of action.

I have a 2mm kidney stone in both kidneys and a 4mm one stuck in my left ureter. Do I need surgery or can medicines dissolve them? How long is it safe to wait before considering surgery?
Kidney Stone Overview, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Options For a 2mm stone in both kidneys and a 4mm stone in the ureter, the first step is to try and pass the stone naturally. While some medications can aid in passing stones, surgery is typically not needed unless the stone causes pain, infection, or blockage. It's generally safe to wait for 4-6 weeks before considering surgery if the stone hasn't passed and no other complications arise
