I've been struggling with a really tough problem. I used to be addicted to porn and would masturbate around 8-9 times a day. Now I'm having trouble getting erections and my penis seems to have shrunk a bit. What kind of treatment would you recommend for this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing physical and psychological effects from frequent masturbation and porn use. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional to assess your situation. Treatment may include counseling for addiction, lifestyle changes, and possibly medication to support erectile function.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've been struggling with premature ejaculation that's really impacting my relationship with my wife. I'm really eager to find remedies that can cure this problem quickly and permanently. Can alternative medicines be effective for this? I need to improve fast because it's taking a toll on my marriage.

Premature ejaculation (PE) can be treated through a combination of behavioral therapy, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and exercises like the "stop-start" method. While alternative medicines like herbal remedies may provide temporary relief, consulting with a doctor for a personalized treatment plan is key to achieving long-term results.

I have a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about the risks. Is it safe to go through with the operation or are there other options I should consider first? I don't feel great about getting cut open

In 50% of patients who have 9 mm kidney stones, surgical treatment is usually required. The most effective treatment for them is extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), which is a non-invasive procedure.
