My penis is quite small only 1.5 inches when soft and 3 inches when erect. I'm 26 and worried it's not the normal size, which I think should be around 5 inches. Are there any treatments or surgeries that can help increase the size? I've heard about equipment that might help, but I'm not sure if it works. What would you recommend?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

My ultrasound showed a 6mm stone in my mid ureter with a dilated pelvicalyceal system and proximal ureter. The kidneys look normal otherwise. Should I go for surgery or can drinking lots of water help pass the stone naturally?

Surgery is advised to the patient.Shockwave lithotripsy(ESWL),ureteroscopy,percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) are the procedures advised to the patient.

I'm a 23-year-old student and lately, I've noticed that I'm struggling with erectile dysfunction. It's been a concern for me since last year. I don't know if it's related, but I do drink beer about three times a week. Could this be affecting me? I'm really looking for some advice on what steps I should take next.

It's important to address erectile dysfunction with a holistic approach. Regular beer consumption can sometimes affect performance, so consider reducing it. I recommend speaking with a healthcare professional to explore potential causes like stress, hormonal imbalances, or lifestyle factors, and get personalized advice for effective treatment.
