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've developed this dark and rough skin on the sides of my nose, and while it doesn't itch much, it's been bothering me for about 3-4 months now. I scratched it once out of irritation, and that only made it worse. Though it's reduced a bit since then, I'm still not seeing much improvement. I tried using lemon juice, but it burned, so I've switched to aloe gel, but it doesn't seem to be helping either. Any idea what might be causing this and what I could do to make it better?

Consider consulting a dermatologist for personalized guidance, and in the meantime, try using a gentle exfoliating scrub, a topical cream containing niacinamide or kojic acid, and a broad-spectrum sunscreen to help improve the dark, rough skin on the sides of your nose.

I'm thinking about taking glutathione to help with my skin, but I've heard it's best to combine it with vitamin C. How soon after taking a glutathione pill should I take the vitamin C? Do I take them together? Also, how many times a day should I be taking the vitamin C?

To maximize the benefits of glutathione for your skin, it is recommended to take it with vitamin C. You can take them together for better absorption. It is advisable to take vitamin C 30 minutes to 1 hour after taking the glutathione pill. You can take vitamin C once a day, preferably in the morning with your glutathione supplement. The recommended dosage of vitamin C can vary, but a common dosage is around 500-1000mg per day for skin health benefits.
