View allI'm really worried about something that's been happening the last few weeks. Whenever I get an erection, everything seems fine at first, but when the foreskin pulls back, it gets painful cracks, and I've even noticed some bleeding. The area feels really dry and uncomfortable. We've tried not having sex for a bit, hoping it would heal, which it does, but then the cracks come back again when I pull the skin back during sex. I used some lubricant and coconut oil, which help a little bit, but the problem is still there. I've been married for a year now and never had this issue before. Any advice on what might be causing this and how I can fix it?

I'm worried about some stones in my kidneys. I've got a 6mm calculus in the upper pole calyx of my right kidney, and a 5mm one in the mid pole calyx of my left. Is that serious? I'm drinking about 6 liters of water a day. Is there anything else I can do or any medicine I should consider?
Kidney stones can be painful and uncomfortable. Given your situation: _Stone Size and Location_ - 6mm calculus in the upper pole calyx of the right kidney - 5mm calculus in the mid pole calyx of the left kidney Both stones are relatively small, but their location in the calyces can cause discomfort and increase the risk of complications. _Recommendations_ 1. _Increase fluid intake_: You're already drinking 6 liters of water per day, which is excellent. Continue to stay hydrated to help flush out the stones. 2. _Dietary changes_: Reduce your intake of: - Oxalate-rich foods (spinach, beets, rhubarb) - Sodium - Animal protein - Calcium supplements (unless recommended by your doctor) 3. _Pain management_: Over-the-counter pain medications like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) can help manage discomfort. 4. _Medical consultation_: Schedule an appointment with a urologist or nephrologist to discuss your condition and determine the best course of action. _Medications_ Your doctor may prescribe medications to help manage your condition, such as: 1. _Alpha-blockers_: To help relax the muscles in your ureter and improve stone passage. 2. _Pain relievers_: To manage discomfort and pain. _Surgical Intervention_ Depending on the size, location, and number of stones, your doctor may recommend surgical intervention, such as: 1. _Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL)_: A non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break up the stones. 2. _Ureteroscopy_: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small scope to remove the stones. 3. _Percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL)_: A minimally invasive procedure that uses a small incision to remove larger stones.
