I'm really concerned because I've been married for a year now and still haven't been able to have penetrative sex with my wife. Every time I try to get close, I either lose my erection or can only get the tip of my penis in. Plus, her vagina feels really tight and she can only handle one finger without pain. We're both working professionals and end up tired by the end of the day. I'm not sure if this is due to my erectile dysfunction or if there's something else going on here. Can you suggest some solutions or advice to help us get through this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing both physical and emotional factors affecting your ability to achieve penetrative sex, including possible erectile dysfunction and concerns about vaginal tightness. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional to address potential underlying issues such as erectile dysfunction, stress, or any physical discomfort your wife may be experiencing. A doctor or therapist can offer tailored advice and support, which may include treatments for erectile dysfunction or guidance on relaxation techniques and communication for both of you.

My penis doesn't fully retract when erect but works fine when flaccid are there any non-surgical options to help with this? Worried it might cause issues and looking for alternatives.

Phimosis during erection may need stretching creams or steroid ointments; surgery only if tightness worsens or pain persists.

I recently had an ultrasound that showed three kidney stones two in my right kidney around 5-6 mm and one in my left kidney's lower pole measuring 9 mm. Can these be treated naturally or would surgery be necessary? Also, is Himalaya CYSTONE effective for this? What foods should I avoid to prevent making it worse?

For kidney stones of this size (5-6mm and 9mm), a combination of natural approaches and medical intervention may be recommended. The 9mm stone is more likely to require medical intervention, while the 5-6mm stones have a higher chance of passing naturally
