I've noticed a small cut on the foreskin of my penis after recently receiving oral sex, and it's been really uncomfortable. It stings, and sometimes the pain comes and goes. I'm a bit worried about what this could mean. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that will heal on its own? What should I do to help it heal or relieve the pain?

I'm dealing with kidney stones in both of my kidneys. There's a 4mm stone on the right and a 3mm one on the left. Can you guide me on how I should go about removing these stones?

-Small kidney stones like yours often pass naturally with adequate hydration. Drink at least 3-4 liters of water daily, include citrus juices (like lemon water) to help dissolve stones, and consult your doctor for pain management or medications if needed.
