I've noticed a small cut on the foreskin of my penis after recently receiving oral sex, and it's been really uncomfortable. It stings, and sometimes the pain comes and goes. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will heal on its own? What should I do to help it heal or relieve the pain?

I'm curious if masturbation can have any impact on my physical or mental health. I usually do it once or twice a week, and I'm wondering if it could cause me to lose weight or affect me in other ways. Could you help me understand this?

My right ureter is a bit dilated in the middle and there's a 7mm stone in the lowest part. Do I really need surgery for this or can it pass with just medicines? I'm a bit worried about what to do next.

A 7mm kidney stone in the lower ureter, especially with associated dilation, likely won't pass on its own and surgery may be needed. While medications can help with pain and potentially aid passage, they are not a definitive solution for a 7mm stone.
