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 foreskin won't pull back over my penis should I be considering surgery or are there meds that can help with this? It's been really uncomfortable and I'm not sure what to do about it.

If your foreskin won't pull back over your penis and is causing discomfort, you might have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. Treatment options include topical steroid creams and, in some cases, surgery like circumcision or frenuloplasty

I'm having a lot of discomfort on my right side and just found out I have a kidney stone. They gave me some painkillers and did an ultrasound showing it's about 3.9 mm. Is there a good chance this will pass on its own with urine? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.

Urologist opinion is advised to the patient.
