I've been having really bad back pain and the doctor found a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. They recommended a small surgery like blasting the stone but I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary or if medicine could work instead
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone can be treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes to encourage it to pass naturally, or it may require surgery like lithotripsy. The decision depends on factors like the stone's location, size, type, and whether it's causing complications like obstruction or infection

I'm a bit worried because my penis bends to the left when it's fully erect. It kinda seems like it affects its length. I'm not really keen on surgery, so I'm wondering if there's any other way to straighten it out.
A bent penis, also known as Peyronie's disease, can be addressed through non-surgical methods, including oral medications like vitamin E, potassium para-aminobenzoate (Potaba), and pentoxifylline; topical creams containing verapamil or interferon; and physical therapy techniques like penile traction therapy (PTT) using devices like the Penimaster or Vacu Devices, which can help straighten the penis and potentially improve length appearance, but consult a urologist or healthcare professional to determine the best course of treatment for your specific condition.

I'm having some trouble with my sex life and could really use some advice. Anytime I'm getting close to intercourse, my penis seems to bend and just doesn't stay firm enough to actually penetrate, even though it's fine and hard during foreplay and when I'm being intimate in other ways. I even tried taking Viagra sildenafil 100mg, but it didn't work for me. It's frustrating because I feel aroused, but once we try to actually have sex, it's like my body doesn't cooperate. Do you have any suggestions or solutions for this?
It sounds like you're experiencing **performance anxiety or situational erectile dysfunction**, where stress or pressure during penetration affects firmness. Since sildenafil didnt help fully, consider speaking with a doctor about potential physical or psychological factors. Techniques like relaxation exercises, improving intimacy, or counseling could also help.
