I'm a bit worried because I used to have random and morning erections, which I assumed were normal, but for the past month they've stopped completely. I also feel like my sex drive has really decreased. Is this something I should be concerned about, or could it be a normal phase?

It's not uncommon for sexual drive and erections to fluctuate due to factors like stress, lifestyle changes, or hormonal imbalances. However, if youve noticed a persistent decrease in libido and erectile function, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like hormonal imbalances or other health conditions.

my dad is 80 but otherwise healthy - is laser surgery a good option for his prostate enlargement or are there risks we should know about at his age

Laser prostatectomy, especially holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), can be a viable option for an 80-year-old healthy man with prostate enlargement. While risks exist, the benefits of improved urinary flow and reduced symptoms often outweigh them, especially when performed at a reputable facility according to RG Hospitals. However, it's crucial to have a thorough discussion with a urologist about potential complications, recovery time, and individual health factors.

I have a 10mm stone in my right kidney and a 5mm one in my left kidney will these pass on their own or do I need surgery?

A 10mm kidney stone is unlikely to pass on its own and will likely require surgical intervention. A 5mm stone has a higher chance of passing naturally, but it's also possible that it may require treatment depending on the individual's situation
