I'm a bit worried about my situation. When my penis is flaccid, I can easily pull the foreskin back. Is this normal? Should I be keeping it rolled back all the time, or is there a reason to be concerned?

Its normal for the foreskin to be easily pulled back when the penis is flaccid, as long as it doesnt cause discomfort or pain. It's not necessary to keep the foreskin rolled back all the time unless advised by a healthcare provider, as it may lead to irritation or other issues. Regular hygiene is important to prevent infections.

I have an 8mm stone stuck in my upper ureter and have been taking both homeopathic and allopathic medicines like distone. My doctor suggested surgery saying it might block urine flow if it stays, but it's been 20 days and I'm peeing normally. Can an 8mm stone still allow urine to pass through a 45mm ureter without causing blockage?

needs P/E for better advice.
