I've had multiple 13mm kidney stones in my left side for 3 years now - can they dissolve on their own without needing surgery? What are my options besides going under the knife?

I'm a reverted Muslim and considering getting khatna done. Can you tell me how much the surgery usually costs and how many days I'd need to stay in the hospital?

The cost varies depending on the area and the hospital . In Chennai, it costs between 30000 to 40000 if done under general anaesthetic. You will need to take off work for about 1 week and may be two weeks. You will start to move about 6- 8 hours after surgery

I'm dealing with an issue where the head of my penis is really sensitive, and it's leading to premature ejaculation. I'm looking for advice on how to address this sensitivity problem. What's the best way to manage this?

One treatment option you can try is using a topical anesthetic cream containing lidocaine. You can apply a small amount of cream to the sensitive area about 10-15 minutes before sexual activity. This can help reduce the sensitivity and delay ejaculation. One brand you can look for is Stud 100, and the recommended dosage is to apply a small pea-sized amount as needed. Remember to wash it off before intercourse to prevent transfer to your partner.
