I'm 27 and I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, my penis gets really tight, but when I'm having sex with my girlfriend, it doesn't seem to get as tight. It's got me super worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?

It's normal for the penis to feel firmer or tighter during masturbation due to different levels of arousal and muscle contraction. During sex, the physical and emotional dynamics are different, which can affect how the penis feels. If you're concerned, consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further reassurance.

I have a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really nervous about the risks. Is it safe to go through with the operation or are there other options I should consider first? I don't feel great about getting cut open

In 50% of patients who have 9 mm kidney stones, surgical treatment is usually required. The most effective treatment for them is extracorporeal shockwave lithotripsy (ESWL), which is a non-invasive procedure.
