I'm a 22-year-old guy and I'm having a bit of a situation. My foreskin doesn't seem to retract on its own when I'm erect, and I can't really pull it back manually either because it's too tight. I can pull it back fine when I'm not erect though. Any idea what's going on or what I should do?

It sounds like you have phimosis, which is a common condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract fully during an erection. Regular gentle stretching exercises with a steroid cream prescribed by a doctor can help, but if it persists, consult a urologist to discuss further options like a minor surgical procedure (circumcision or preputioplasty).

The average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes. If it happens before 1 minute then it's usually considered as pre mature ejaculation which has many reasons.

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
