I'm having trouble pulling back the foreskin on my penis, and it's causing a really uncomfortable tightness at the tip during full erections and when trying to insert. On top of that, I'm dealing with premature ejaculation. Should I be seeing a urologist for this, or is a general surgeon the better option? Also, is there a connection between this issue with my foreskin, phimosis I think it's called, and premature ejaculation?

You should consult a urologist, as they specialize in genital and urinary tract issues, including phimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and premature ejaculation (PE); while phimosis and PE can coexist, they are not directly related, but treating phimosis through circumcision, preputioplasty, or frenuloplasty may help alleviate discomfort and tightness, which could indirectly improve PE symptoms, and a urologist can assess and address both concerns.

I'm kind of worried because I've noticed this small bump on the side of my urinary meatus. It's been there for about two months now, and even though it's not causing any pain or discomfort, it hasn't gone away or changed at all. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that might just go away on its own?

I'm really worried because I have a 32 mm stone in my kidney. Could you please let me know if Neeri tablets can help remove it? If you have any suggestions on other ways to get rid of it, I would really appreciate your advice.

To help dissolve kidney stones, you can try taking potassium citrate supplements. You can take Potrate MB6 tablets. It is important to drink plenty of water to help flush out the stone as well. If the stone is too large to pass on its own, you may need to consult a urologist for further treatment options.
