I'm experiencing a lot of pain during sex and I'm not sure if it's because of a short frenulum or something else. I also have a hard time opening it properly when it becomes erect. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing pain due to a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back over the head of the penis. This can be caused by a short frenulum. I recommend using a topical steroid cream like Betamethasone (0.05%) to help loosen the foreskin. Apply a small amount to the tight area twice a day for about 4-6 weeks. If this does not improve your symptoms, you may need to consider a circumcision or a frenuloplasty procedure. Please consult with a urologist for further evaluation and management.

I have a 7x5 mm stone in my left vesicoureteric junction but all other reports are normal can it be treated with meds or do I need surgery

A 7x5 mm stone at the vesicoureteral junction (VUJ) can be treated with medication or surgery depending on individual factors. While some stones this size might pass naturally with medical expulsion therapy (MET), including pain management and increasing fluids, surgical intervention may be necessary, especially if the stone is causing obstruction or infection. The decision will depend on factors like the stone's location, your symptoms, overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option

I've noticed my penis seems to be getting really small and even shrinking up to my lower abdomen when I go to urinate, particularly this winter. Im 36 and have never experienced this before. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a medical issue?

Cold Weather: Exposure to cold temperatures can cause blood vessels to constrict, leading to a temporary decrease in penis size. This is a common phenomenon, especially during winter months.
