I'm having a problem with the skin on my penis not retracting during sex with my partner. It seems like it's not opening properly. I've been using oil whenever we have sex, but I'm not sure if that's okay. Is there something I should be doing differently, or should I be worried about this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing tightness of the foreskin, a condition known as phimosis, which can make it difficult for the skin to retract during sex. Applying a lubricant, such as oil, can help reduce friction, but its important to consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and explore treatment options, such as gentle stretching exercises or, in some cases, medical intervention.

I've been having swelling and stabbing pain on the lower left side of my trunk near my abdomen and hip. My doctor checked and said there's no kidney or urinary issue but still ordered an ultrasound. The scan showed normal kidneys and no fatty liver but found a UTI, urine retention, and 6mm gall bladder stones with fatty and calcium deposits. I'm worried will my doctor push for surgery or can this be managed with meds and lifestyle changes? What does Ayurveda suggest for avoiding surgery in this case?

This condition may require clinical evaluation to determine the exact cause and treatment. Some cases can be managed conservatively, while others may need surgical intervention depending on size, symptoms, and severity. Regular follow-up is important to monitor progress.

I've been experiencing these on-and-off vibrations in my penis for the past couple of days, and it's never happened before. Is this something I should be worried about? What do you think I should do?

Intermittent vibrations in the penis could be due to various reasons such as nerve issues, muscle spasms, or even psychological factors. It is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
