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.

View allI've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?

I've been diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele and have some pain in my testes, especially when walking. My doctor said surgery isn't needed since it's grade 2, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage it without surgery?
It's reasonable to seek a second opinion if you're experiencing discomfort despite your doctor's assessment that surgery isn't necessary for a grade 2 varicocele. While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure

Can lithotripsy work for a 22mm kidney stone? I'm really scared of surgery and hoping there's another option
Stones that are smaller than 2 cm in diameter are the best size for SWL. The treatment might not be effective in very large ones. SWL is more appropriate for some people than others. Because x-rays and shock waves are needed in SWL, pregnant women with stones are not treated this way.
