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?

View allI had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?
It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around **4 to 6 weeks** after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.

I'm dealing with a curve in my penis that bends to the left, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. Is there any specific exercise I can do, or a proper way to masturbate, that might help make it straighter?
To address this issue, you can try performing penile stretching exercises to help straighten your penis. One common exercise is the penile traction method, where you gently stretch your penis in the opposite direction of the curve for a few minutes each day. Additionally, using a penile traction device may also help in straightening your penis over time. It's important to be patient and consistent with these exercises for them to be effective. Remember to be gentle and not forceful to avoid any injuries.

Hey, so I recently found out I have Epididymo Orchitis after visiting the doctor because my right testicle was really swollen. I'm on antibiotics now, but I'm really curious how long it's going to take for this swelling to completely disappear. Any idea what the usual timeline is for something like this?
Swelling from epididymo-orchitis usually begins to improve within a few days of starting antibiotics, but it can take **2-4 weeks** for the swelling to completely resolve. Rest, scrotal support, and anti-inflammatory medications can help speed up recovery. If swelling persists, follow up with your doctor.
