I've tried having sex but couldn't get hard, and I think it's because of performance anxiety. I'm really worried about this. Can you give me some advice on how to deal with performance-related anxiety?

My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back no matter how hard I try is there any way to fix this without surgery? I've heard about stretching or steroid creams do those actually work?

Yes, it's possible to manage a tight foreskin (phimosis) without surgery. Stretching exercises and topical steroid creams are effective non-surgical treatments.

I have been dealing with a 5mm kidney stone and Im not sure what steps to take to manage it. Also, I have PCOD with an ED of 21mm, and Im struggling with irregular periods. I weigh 63 kg and my height is 51 cm. My doctor advised me to lose weight, but Im not sure if thats the right step or if there are more serious issues I should be worried about. Can you guide me on how to tackle these health concerns?

A 5mm kidney stone can often pass with increased water intake (3-4 litersday). PCOD and irregular periods improve significantly with weight loss, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. Losing 5-7% of your body weight can regulate periods and reduce complications. It's not serious yet, but consistent effort is key!
