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'm a bit worried because I've noticed a change in my urine color; it's turned orange. I'm also experiencing some stomach discomfort. Could this be caused by taking Supradyn capsules? And if it's not related to that, what else might be causing orange urine?

Supradyn capsules, a multivitamin supplement, are unlikely to cause a change in urine color or stomachache; orange urine can indicate dehydration, consumption of foods like carrots or rhubarb, or supplements containing riboflavin (B2) or beta-carotene, but it can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition, such as liver or kidney disease, so if you're concerned consult urologist

My report says the ureters are obscured and there's a 5 mm kidney stone. Can a stone this size pass without surgery? What noninvasive tests like CT or MRI should I do to check for obstruction and locate the stone?

A 5mm kidney stone has a good chance of passing on its own, but a CT scan or MRI can help determine if the stone is obstructing the ureter and if further intervention is needed. CT scans are the preferred method for assessing kidney stones, as they are highly sensitive and can provide detailed images of the urinary tract.
