My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

View allI'm really concerned because I've been married for a year now and still haven't been able to have penetrative sex with my wife. Every time I try to get close, I either lose my erection or can only get the tip of my penis in. Plus, her vagina feels really tight and she can only handle one finger without pain. We're both working professionals and end up tired by the end of the day. I'm not sure if this is due to my erectile dysfunction or if there's something else going on here. Can you suggest some solutions or advice to help us get through this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing both physical and emotional factors affecting your ability to achieve penetrative sex, including possible erectile dysfunction and concerns about vaginal tightness. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional to address potential underlying issues such as erectile dysfunction, stress, or any physical discomfort your wife may be experiencing. A doctor or therapist can offer tailored advice and support, which may include treatments for erectile dysfunction or guidance on relaxation techniques and communication for both of you.

I've noticed these small blisters on my penis and I'm not sure if I should see a dermatologist or a specialist who deals with sexual health. It's been going on for about 23 weeks now and I'm quite concerned about how serious this might be. Any advice on what I should do?

I have a 7mm kidney stone stuck in my right pelviureteric junction can medicines help pass it or is surgery the only option? What would you recommend?
A 7mm kidney stone lodged in the right pelviureteric junction (the junction where the kidney connects to the ureter) is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While medications can help with some types of kidney stones, they are generally ineffective for calcium stones, which are the most common type. Surgery is often recommended for stones of this size and location
