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'm wondering if Viagra can help with ejaculation issues, particularly when trying to conceive. I'm also curious if there's a version of Viagra that might help with anxiety, maybe just for a one-time use. Can you give some advice on this?

I have a 2mm kidney stone in both kidneys and a 4mm one stuck in my left ureter. Do I need surgery or can medicines dissolve them? How long is it safe to wait before considering surgery?
Kidney Stone Overview, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Options For a 2mm stone in both kidneys and a 4mm stone in the ureter, the first step is to try and pass the stone naturally. While some medications can aid in passing stones, surgery is typically not needed unless the stone causes pain, infection, or blockage. It's generally safe to wait for 4-6 weeks before considering surgery if the stone hasn't passed and no other complications arise
