I'm really concerned about an issue I've been dealing with. I was addicted to prone masturbation for about 10 years, and even though I stopped two years ago, I feel like my penis is damaged. The base is very smooth, there's a bend to the left, and I can't maintain an erection for more than a few seconds. It's been really affecting me mentally. What can I do to address this problem?

-It's understandable that you're feeling distressed by this issue. The changes in your penis, like smoothness, bending, and short-lasting erections, could be related to long-term habits. I recommend consulting a urologist who can assess your condition and

I have two kidney stones one is a 13mm stone in my right lower ureter near the iliac vessels with moderate hydroureteronephrosis, and the other is a 5mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney. My creatinine is 1.13, urea is 18, and uric acid is 8. Is there any chance I can dissolve or pass these stones without surgery? My urologist is recommending urgent surgery because of the swelling in my right ureter, but I'd really like to avoid surgery if possible. Could ESWL be an option for me instead?

It's understandable that you'd want to explore non-surgical options for your kidney stones, especially with the 13mm stone causing moderate hydroureteronephrosis. While the 5mm stone might be a candidate for watchful waiting, the larger stone in your right ureter likely requires a more active approach. ESWL is a possibility for the right ureteral stone, but its effectiveness and suitability depend on factors like stone composition and location. Given the moderate hydroureteronephrosis, your urologist's concern for urgent intervention is justified.
