I've got a 7.5mm stone causing wave-like pain in my lower back and abdomen how can I pass it naturally or do I need surgery? Could it damage my kidneys or other organs if it stays too long?

A 7.5mm kidney stone causing wave-like pain in your lower back and abdomen is likely to require medical intervention, such as surgery, or procedures like lithotripsy to break it down, as it's less likely to pass naturally. If the stone remains lodged in the ureter, it can cause severe pain, increase the risk of infection or kidney damage, and potentially impact other organs over time.

View allI'm really curious about how mast**u**rbation affects testosterone levels. Like, is there a frequency that's considered okay or safe? I'm just a bit worried because I've read that doing it too much can mess with testosterone, and I want to make sure I'm not unintentionally causing any issues. Can you share any insights on how often it's alright without it impacting testosterone levels?
Masturbation does not significantly affect testosterone levels in the long term. Its generally safe and normal to masturbate as often as you feel comfortable, as long as it doesnt interfere with your daily life, relationships, or responsibilities.

I've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?

My dad's been prescribed Cifran 500 mg twice a day for 10 days because he's dealing with a urine infection and prostate issues. He's been getting this faint stomach ache every time he takes it, which I read might be a side effect of Cifran. It's making him uncomfortable, especially when he's trying to sleep. What should we do about this?
Cifran was prescribed based on experience of the Doctor or it was based on urine culture and sensitivity. You may ask your doctor to change the antibiotics if he can. Minimal stomach ache will be there with 99% antibiotics
