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?

I'm kind of worried because after taking Alfoo, Levotas, and Chymoral AP for some urinary issues last night, I started feeling really dizzy with a racing heart and blocked nose. Are these side effects something to be really concerned about, and should I stop taking them?

The symptoms you're experiencing, such as dizziness, weakness, rapid heartbeat, and nasal congestion, after taking Alfoo, Levotas, and Chymoral AP, are likely adverse reactions to one or more of these medications; Alfoo (Alfuzosin) can cause dizziness and rapid heartbeat, while Levotas (Valsartan) may lead to dizziness and nasal congestion; Chymoral AP may also contribute to these symptoms; discontinue these medications immediately

My wife has a 12 mm stone in her left kidney and feels mild pain daily. Can this be treated with medicine or does she need surgery?

Kidney stones may not always cause pain and discomfort and may remain asymptomatic unless they grow too big or get stuck in the ureter or urethra. A 12 mm kidney stone is large and can cause much pain and difficulties and requires surgery for removal.
