I've been reading about venous leak and I'm really worried can it be treated with pills or is surgery the only option? I've heard leaving it untreated can mess with mental health like causing anxiety or low self-esteem and I'm not sure what to do

Yes, venous leakage (also known as veno-occlusive dysfunction) can often be treated without surgery. Several non-surgical options are available, including medication, endovascular procedures, and other interventions. The most effective treatment plan will depend on the individual's specific circumstances and the severity of their symptoms

I had keyhole surgery for kidney stones back in August 2016 but just got an ultrasound scan that showed an 11mm and 5.5mm stone in my right kidney and a 3.5mm stone in my left kidney. I'm really worried about going through surgery again is there any way to treat these stones without surgery or is surgery the only option?

I'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex with my partner, even though I can get one during masturbation and foreplay. Its just during actual penetration where it becomes difficult to keep it up. I even tried taking Viagra 30 minutes before intercourse, but it didnt really help much. What can I do about this?

It sounds like you might be experiencing performance anxiety or a psychological component affecting your ability to maintain an erection during intercourse, even though you can achieve one during masturbation or foreplay. It's important to address any stress or anxiety related to sexual performance. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include physical or psychological factors, and to discuss potential treatment options beyond medications like Viagra.

I'm really struggling with an addiction to masturbation over the last 10 years, sometimes doing it multiple times in a day. I've noticed my penis has become quite large and bent to one side, and my scrotum is bigger than usual too. This has made it hard for me to wear pants comfortably, and I'm feeling pretty depressed about it. Is there any way to reduce the size or reshape them to a more manageable size? Would love to hear your advice on how I can address this situation.

Excessive masturbation and friction may have caused penile curvature (Peyronies disease) or swelling. Enlarged scrotum could indicate other issues like hydrocele or varicocele. Consult a urologist for evaluation and tailored treatment options to address size concerns and any emotional distress.
