I'm married and have been trying for a month to have intercourse with my wife, but I'm having issues because I can't maintain an erection. It's affecting our intimacy, and I'm worried because I can't satisfy her fully. It's bending and not working as it should. What could be the cause of this? What can I do to resolve it?

You may be experiencing erectile dysfunction. I recommend you try using Viagra (Sildenafil) 50mg to 100mg about 1 hour before sexual activity. This medication can help improve blood flow to the penis and support a stronger erection. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

Had emergency kidney stone surgery last Thursday and still have the urethra stent in. I've called the urologist's office multiple times but keep getting the runaround it's been five days now and I'm really worried. What should I do about getting the stent removed?

It's understandable that you're concerned about the ureteral stent after your emergency kidney stone surgery. After five days, it's important to clarify your situation and get the stent removed. If you haven't been given specific instructions about removing it yourself (with a string attached), you should contact your urologist again and request a removal appointment

My foreskin won't pull down and part of it seems stuck to the head of my penis. When I get an erection, it gets really tight and I can't retract it at all. During sex, it does come down but since it's attached, I end up ejaculating too fast. I read online that this might be phimosis and they suggested using a steroid cream like Tenovat along with daily stretching exercises, saying it could fix it in about 4 weeks. Does that actually work or is surgery the only way to fix this?

Surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
