I'm 21 and I'm having some trouble because I can't get it hard during sex. I used to masturbate a lot, and now I'm worried if all that is causing erectile dysfunction. Could that be the reason?

Excessive masturbation, especially if it becomes a frequent habit, can sometimes lead to temporary erectile dysfunction (ED) due to overstimulation or desensitization. However, ED at your age can also be influenced by factors like stress, anxiety, or relationship issues. It's important to focus on a balanced lifestyle and consult a healthcare provider if the issue persists.

The doctor at Medanta Gurgaon recommended frenuloplasty surgery for me but I'm a bit nervous about it are there any other treatment options or alternatives I could consider instead of going straight for surgery?

Frenuloplasty is commonly recommended to treat a tight or shortened frenulum, but alternatives like steroid creams or stretching exercises might help in milder cases. It's best to discuss with your doctor if these options could be suitable for you.

I'm dealing with a kidney stone issue that started about 3 months ago. Initially, the stone was 4 mm and the treatment seemed to solve the problem, but now I'm experiencing some pain on my left side again. I've been trying K Mac B6 syrup to help with the stone, but I'm worried about any side effects it might have. Is K Mac B6 actually good for kidney stones, or should I be concerned about using it?

K-Mac B6 syrup may help manage kidney stone symptoms, but its effectiveness and safety vary. Here's a balanced view: Benefits 1. Reduces pain and discomfort 2. Helps dissolve small stones (up to 10 mm) 3. Supports urinary tract health 4. May prevent stone recurrence Potential Side Effects 1. Gastrointestinal issues (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea) 2. Headaches 3. Dizziness 4. Allergic reactions (rare) Precautions 1. Consult a doctor before taking K-Mac B6 syrup, especially if: - You have underlying medical conditions (diabetes, kidney disease) - You take medications (blood thinners, diuretics) - You're pregnant or breastfeeding 1. Monitor urine output, color and consistency 2. Report worsening symptoms or adverse effects to your doctor Alternative Options 1. Consult a urologist for personalized treatment
