Im 18 and I've got a question that's been really bothering me. I often masturbate and once this thought hit me: if I accidentally swallow my own sperm, can that give me STDs like AIDS? I've never had sex before, so Im still a virgin. And what about someone who's sexually activeif they swallow their own sperm and have bleeding gums or something, could they get AIDS that way? This whole idea is kind of stressing me out.

It's understandable to feel concerned, but swallowing your own sperm does not transmit HIV or other STDs. HIV is primarily spread through direct contact with infected bodily fluids during unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child. Bleeding gums or mouth sores can increase the risk of transmission in sexual situations, but this is not a concern with your scenario. If you're feeling distressed, it may help to talk to a healthcare provider for further support.

I've been wondering if it's alright for men to use products like Lactacyd or Vwash for washing their intimate areas. If that's not a good idea, could you suggest some intimate wash options that are specifically for men?

What size of kidney stone can be removed without surgery if there are stones in both the left and right kidney? I'm really anxious about whether it's possible to deal with them without an operation.
Renal caliculi of size less than 7mm needs no surgical intervention for few pts it can be upto 9mm also but it is more than that and causing obstruction,that needs to be removed.
