Accepted Answer

The exposed head of your penis (glans) will feel sensitive for the first two weeks; however, this will soon settle. After you have recovered from surgery, you can engage in sex as you did before.1

Question 2

I'm a bit worried about some test results I got. It says I have two non-obstructing calculus in my right kidney, one measuring 3.5mm and another 4.0mm, located in the interpole and lower pole calyx. The left kidney also has two non-obstructing calculus, measuring 3.6mm and 4.4mm in the same areas. Should I be concerned about these? Are there any symptoms I should watch out for or lifestyle changes I need to make?

You have multiple small kidney stones (calculus) in both kidneys, but they are not currently obstructing the flow of urine. Here's a summary:

3. _Monitoring_: Schedule regular follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor the stones' size and position.
4. _Pain management_: If you experience any pain or discomfort, consult your doctor for guidance on pain management.

Question 3

Can varicocele heal on its own with yoga or other natural methods without needing surgery Also does frequent masturbation cause varicocele to develop

Accepted Answer

Varicocele typically doesn't resolve on its own and may even worsen over time. Surgery is often the most effective treatment, though some lifestyle adjustments or exercises may help alleviate symptoms. Frequent masturbation does not directly cause varicocele, but can lead to temporary discomfort or pain.

-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
