I've been dealing with pain in my foreskin because it's too tight I think it's phimosis. I first noticed this around 7-8 years ago but never talked about it because I felt awkward. Now the pain is getting worse and I'm considering surgery. What do you think I should do?

I'm dealing with kidney stones in both of my kidneys. There's a 4mm stone on the right and a 3mm one on the left. Can you guide me on how I should go about removing these stones?

-Small kidney stones like yours often pass naturally with adequate hydration. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily, include citrus juices (like lemon water) to help dissolve stones, and consult your doctor for pain management or medications if needed.

What are the chances that sperm could survive under my fingernail? I ended up with sperm on my fingers, and after four hours of washing my hands with medium hot water, I inserted my fingers deeply into my girlfriend's vagina. I'm concerned about the possibility of her getting pregnant. I read somewhere that sperm might live in warm places, and I'm wondering if the area under fingernails could be considered warm enough. What should I do?

No need to worry they woul have washed out and there is no risk of pregnancy in your case
