I've been experiencing some issues after masturbating where I get small cuts on my foreskin, and it's becoming a bit of a concern. They tend to heal after a few days, but as soon as I masturbate again, the same thing happens. It's quite painful, and sometimes I can't even retract the foreskin because of the pain. I'm worried and wondering if this is something I should be concerned about or if there's anything I can do to prevent it. Could you provide some advice on what might be causing this and how to stop it from happening?

It sounds like you may be experiencing irritation or minor abrasions on your foreskin, possibly due to friction during masturbation. I recommend using a gentle moisturizer or emollient to help soothe the area and reduce friction. If the issue persists or becomes more painful, it may be helpful to consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I have a 3 cm kidney stone and I'm diabetic but no other issues - is it possible to treat this without surgery or is that my only option

A 3cm kidney stone is large and may not pass on its own, and surgery or other procedures are often necessary. While some smaller stones can be managed with conservative measures like increased fluid intake and pain medication, a stone of this size typically requires intervention. Given your diabetes, it's crucial to consult with your doctor to determine the best course of action, as uncontrolled diabetes can complicate treatment and increase the risk of complications.

I'm curious about recovery after my varicocele and hydrocele surgery done on January 3rd. When is it safe to get back to normal sexual activities like having sex or masturbating? I'm a bit worried about doing anything too soon.

You can typically resume normal sexual activities, including sex or masturbation, about **46 weeks** after varicocele and hydrocele surgery, once you've fully healed. However, it's best to consult your doctor for personalized advice, as recovery time can vary.
