Would removal of the prostate result in erectile dysfunction?

Removal of prostate can happen with or without removal of surrounding nerves based on the patient's condition. Persons whose nerves are spared may have erectile dysfunction for mostly 2 years or so post surgery which regains back slowly. Persons whose nerves are removed may have permanent erection issues and may need medications for it.

I have a 7.3mm stone in the lower pole of my kidney will it pass on its own or do I need surgery? I've been feeling nauseous and having lower abdominal pain for the past 3 days could this be from the stone or something else?

Passing a Kidney Stone Stones that are larger than 7 mm rarely pass without a surgical procedure. There is usually no permanent damage if kidney stones are recognized and treated in a timely fashion.
