Can I take Duralast 30mg twice in one day if I want to use it once in the morning and again at night? And is there a stronger pill out there that can help with delaying ejaculation just for one-time use?

Duralast (30mg) is typically prescribed for once-daily use, and taking it twice in one day may increase the risk of side effects. For delaying ejaculation, there are other options like Priligy (dapoxetine), which is specifically designed for on-demand use. It's important to consult with your doctor before adjusting the dosage or trying new medications.

I have a grade 1 varicocele on the left side do I really need surgery for this or are there other treatment options I can try first

A Grade 1 varicocele often doesn't require surgery, especially if it's not causing pain or other significant issues. Surgery might be considered if there are complications like reduced testicular function or infertility concerns. There are several other treatment options, including lifestyle adjustments and medications to manage pain and swelling

I just experienced some swelling on my penis after masturbating about 4 or 5 times in a row. It's really worrying me, and Im not sure what to do. Could you give me some advice?

You may be experiencing inflammation or irritation from excessive masturbation. I recommend taking a break from any sexual activity to allow your body to heal. You can also try using an over-the-counter anti-inflammatory cream like ibuprofen gel applied to the affected area to reduce swelling and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent any further irritation. If the swelling persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

I've been diagnosed with a 9.5mm stone in the upper left ureter and swelling in my left kidney. The pain is severe and daily. My doctor recommended Siddh Pan D, painkillers, and immediate surgery. Is surgery the only option or can I wait? How much time do I have before it gets worse? Are there other treatments I can try?

9.5 mm stone is difficult to pass on itself or with medications. For pain u can take tab drotin twice a day..there r two options for stone removal..either ureteroscopic stone removal or shockwave Lithotripsy..for that CT urography needs to be done to decide treatment modality.. serum creatinine also needs to be done
