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 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.

I've been feeling something moving all over my body, kind of like ants crawling. It's really irritating and sometimes I get pimples that look like ant bites. Could you help me figure out if this is some sort of worm or infection?

Could be due to a condition called Formication, where a person feels like insects are crawling on or under their skin. This sensation can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, drug use, or certain medical conditions. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try over-the-counter antihistamines like Cetirizine (10mg once daily) to help with the itching and irritation.
