View allI'm having trouble maintaining an erection during sex with my partner, even though I can get one during masturbation and foreplay. Its just during actual penetration where it becomes difficult to keep it up. I even tried taking Viagra 30 minutes before intercourse, but it didnt really help much. What can I do about this?
It sounds like you might be experiencing performance anxiety or a psychological component affecting your ability to maintain an erection during intercourse, even though you can achieve one during masturbation or foreplay. It's important to address any stress or anxiety related to sexual performance. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include physical or psychological factors, and to discuss potential treatment options beyond medications like Viagra.

Had emergency kidney stone surgery last Thursday and still have the urethra stent in. I've called the urologist's office multiple times but keep getting the runaround it's been five days now and I'm really worried. What should I do about getting the stent removed?
It's understandable that you're concerned about the ureteral stent after your emergency kidney stone surgery. After five days, it's important to clarify your situation and get the stent removed. If you haven't been given specific instructions about removing it yourself (with a string attached), you should contact your urologist again and request a removal appointment

Found out I have a 9.2mm kidney stone near the VUJ do I really need surgery or can meds help break it down? Worried about the size and if it'll pass on its own.
A 9.2mm kidney stone at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is large and unlikely to pass on its own. While medication can help manage pain and potentially aid in passage of smaller stones, larger stones like yours are often best addressed surgically. A urologist can evaluate your specific situation and determine the best course of treatment, which may include procedures like ureteroscopy or ESWL.
