I recently had stents placed in both my ureters and they were there for a week after my RIRS procedure. After the stents were removed, I tried to masturbate after a couple of days because I felt the urge, but I ended up having this weird experience where it felt like sperm was coming out but nothing actually did; it was just dry. Should I be worried about this or is it something that can happen?

After stent removal, it's normal to experience temporary changes in ejaculation, and the "dry" sensation could be due to inflammation, scarring, or residual swelling, so consult your urologist to rule out any complications or blockages

I'm really concerned about my hair and nails. I've heard that taking vitamin E can help, but my nails are still brittle and my hair seems thin at the ends, even though I trim it regularly. Do you think vitamin E would actually improve these issues, or could there be something else going on?

That mineral vitamin deficiency only Vit E supplementation doesnt help,visit Dermatologist for appropriate management
