I'm a 24-year-old and I've been using Viagra to have better sex. I'm worried because it's become a habit, and over the past year, my penis isn't getting as erect as it used to. It would get hard about 2 to 3 times a day before, but now it doesn't. Even during sex, it gets hard but goes soft really quickly. I'm wondering if this is happening because of the Viagra, and Id really like some advice on what I should do.

Taking Viagra regularly without medical advice can sometimes lead to psychological dependence, where natural erections feel less strong or consistent. Stress, anxiety, or underlying health issues can also contribute. To address this, avoid further use of Viagra for now, focus on a healthy lifestyle (diet, exercise, sleep), and consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment options, such as managing psychological or hormonal factors.

I've been dealing with really painful kidney stones - an 18mm one on the left side and a 3.3mm one on the right. The pain comes and goes but it's pretty intense when it flares up. Is there any way to get relief without having to go through surgery? What would be the best treatment options for stones this size?

You can pick from options like 1. Surgery ( most effective), 2. Extracorporeal short wave lithotripsy ( ESWL) in which there are no cuts involved. Medicines would not be effective except for relieving pain

I've been having an issue where sperm seems to leak automatically when I'm urinating or even when I'm sleeping, and it's happening without any erection. This has got me feeling really down, and I'm not sure what to do. My penis also feels quite loose and this is adding to my worry. For context, I used to masturbate regularly since I was 16 but stopped around 3 months ago, and I'm 28 years old now. Can you help me figure this out?

It sounds like you're experiencing concerns related to spontaneous semen leakage and changes in your sexual health. This could be linked to factors like sexual health, hormonal balance, or stress, especially after prolonged masturbation. It's important to consult a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss appropriate steps, such as lifestyle changes or treatments, to help you manage this issue effectively.
