Erectile dysfunction per se can lead to lack of sex life if not addressed properly by health care experts but it is not a sign.

My wife has a 14mm kidney stone should we consider surgery or can medicine dissolve it? What's the best way to handle this?

For a 14mm kidney stone, surgical intervention is typically recommended as the first-line treatment. While medications can help manage pain and aid in passing smaller stones, they cannot dissolve 14mm stones. Surgery, along with other options like lithotripsy, are more effective for larger stones.

I'm dealing with some worries about my health that are really starting to stress me out. For the last five years, I've been having issues like semen leakage with urine and night falls, and I haven't tried any medicine for spermatorrhea so far. I'm also experiencing tiredness and a weird crackling sound when I sit down or stand up. It's starting to affect my day-to-day life, and I'm not sure what steps I should take next. Could you help me understand what might be going on and what I can do about it?

It sounds like you're dealing with spermatorrhea and fatigue, which can be caused by various factors like stress, lifestyle, or even underlying health issues. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider to assess your symptoms properly and explore treatment options to address both the semen leakage and the fatigue you're experiencing.
