I've been experiencing a slight burning sensation on my glans after I pee, and I've noticed it's a bit redder than usual. What could be causing this?

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.

I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?

After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
