I've had my kidney stent removed about a month ago, but I'm still having some pain in my side abdomen and my back pretty often. Is this normal, or could it indicate another issue? I'm really worried and could use some guidance.

It is not uncommon to experience some pain in the side abdomen and back after a kidney stent removal procedure. However, if the pain is persistent or severe, it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection or kidney stone. I recommend taking an over-the-counter pain reliever like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential kidney stones. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I've been using Himalaya Confido tablets twice a day like you suggested, and I'm just wondering, will these actually help with increasing the size?

Hello! Himalaya Confido is an herbal supplement often used to support male reproductive health and improve stamina. While it may help with overall wellness, it is unlikely to directly increase the size. If you're concerned about any specific results, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your doctor for more personalized advice.

The skin on the top of my penis doesn't pull back when it's erect, and even when I try to move it down manually, it won't budge. I thought this was normal but my friends say it's not. Could this be a problem that needs surgery?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.

I've been diagnosed with a grade 2 varicocele on the left side of my scrotum should I be rushing to get surgery or is it okay to wait? I'm really into gym workouts and sports does having a varicocele mean I have to stop those activities completely? Also, is there any link between varicocele and frequent masturbation could it make the condition worse? If surgery is needed, which option is better laparoscopy or embolization?

With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting
