To prevent the recurrence of kidney stones after successful RIRS surgery, focus on hydration, dietary changes, and medication as recommended by your doctor. Drink plenty of water throughout the day, aim for 3 liters (5.2 pints) or more, to help flush out minerals. Limit animal protein, sodium, and sugary drinks. Medications like alpha blockers (like tamsulosin) or potassium citrate may also be prescribed to prevent stone formation

This can help reduce the sensitivity and delay ejaculation. One brand you can look for is Stud 100, and the recommended dosage is to apply a small pea-sized amount as needed. Remember to wash it off before intercourse to prevent transfer to your partner.
