I've recently been diagnosed with a 5mm kidney stone and a cyst in my testicle. Ever since I started taking Himalaya Cystone and homeopathic Berberis Vulgaris for them, I've been having some issues with erections. Is that normal? Should I be worried about these side effects?

Erectile issues are not typically caused by medications like Himalaya Cystone or Berberis Vulgaris, but stress or anxiety related to your kidney stone and testicular cyst diagnosis might contribute. If this persists, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying hormonal or vascular causes.

I'm 28 and planning to get married on March 4th but want to get circumcision done before that. How much time should I allow for recovery and when would be the best time to schedule the surgery?

As a doctor, I‚Äôd recommend scheduling circumcision at least 4‚Äì6 weeks before your wedding. This allows adequate time for healing, reduction of swelling, and resumption of normal activities, including sexual intercourse. Ideally, plan the procedure by late January to ensure full recovery by March 4th.

I've had this issue for about 20 days now. It started with a light bluish discoloration on my glans, and then turned whitish. Sometimes there's a mild burning sensation over the glans too. Usually, its pink in color. What could be going on? Should I be worried about this change?

If the discoloration persists or worsens after trying basic care measures. If you have other symptoms, like discharge, fever, or severe pain. cosult urologist
