I'm a 38-year-old guy just diagnosed with kidney stones and the doctors say the stone is too big to pass on its own so they're recommending surgery with a stent Can you explain how the stent actually helps with stone removal and what kind of side effects I might expect from having it put in

Stent improves obstruction in the passage of urine and by passive dilatation of kidney tubes (ureter) passing to bladder ,may help in stone retrieval

I'm having some trouble during sex because the time we spend in bed isn't as long as I'd likeit's only about 57 minutes. I'm really feeling down about it. What can I do to possibly improve this?

Its normal for sexual duration to vary, but if youre unhappy, techniques like pelvic floor exercises, using the "start-stop" method, or consulting a doctor for guidance on premature ejaculation can help. A healthy lifestyle and open communication with your partner also play a big role.
