Question 1

My dad was diagnosed with kidney stones 11mm in the left kidney and 4mm in the ureter. He also has diabetes, high BP, and cholesterol issues. Is surgery really needed for this, and if so, what type would be safest considering his health conditions? Really worried about the risks.

Accepted Answer

Yes, Sx is better option but still for final please consult surgeon for full P/E.

Question 2

I've noticed something strange lately. My foreskin and penis were just fine before, the foreskin used to roll back without any issuesno tightness or pain. After a day of heavy masturbation, the foreskin suddenly became really tight and doesn't roll back as easily as it used to. If I try to force it back, it feels like an elastic band is squeezing my penis. Any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

Accepted Answer

It seems you're experiencing a condition known as:

*Phimosis*

or foreskin tightness. This can be caused by:

- *Over-manipulation*: Excessive masturbation or forceful retraction of the foreskin.
- *Inflammation*: Irritation or infection can lead to scarring and tightening of the foreskin.

Symptoms:

- Difficulty retracting the foreskin
- Pain or discomfort during retraction
- Tightness or constriction of the penis

To alleviate symptoms:

1. *Stop forceful retraction*: Avoid pulling back the foreskin forcefully.
2. *Apply topical creams*: Use topical corticosteroid creams to reduce inflammation.
3. *Practice gentle hygiene*: Clean the area gently with mild soap and water.

Question 3

Can doing masturbation every day lead to weak erections? Ive heard that excessive masturbation might have some side effects. Should I be worried if I'm experiencing this?

Accepted Answer

Excessive masturbation can lead to temporary weak erections, decreased libido, or desensitization, but it does not typically cause permanent damage; daily masturbation can lead to fatigue, decreased sensitivity, and potential negative impacts on relationships and daily life; other potential side effects of excessive masturbation include guilt, shame, anxiety, decreased focus, and neglect of responsibilities.

my foreskin won't pull back without a lot of pain is there any cream or medicine that can help instead of needing surgery

Topical steroid creams may help retract the foreskin; if ineffective, circumcision remains a definitive treatment.
