I'm really worried about having two stones, one that's 14mm in the kidney and another 20 mm in the urinary bladder, especially since I also have heart issues. Could this cause any complications, and what should I do about it?

For the 14mm stone, medication such as Tamsulosin may be attempted in trying to let the stone pass, but the larger stone will definintely need surgical intervention. In such a condition, it may be best to treat both renal calculi with lithotripsy. Since the patient has a cardiac disease history, it is imperative to get clearance from the consulting cardiologist before proceeding.

I'm getting really worried because lately my penis isn't getting hard, even when I'm watching porn. I can still ejaculate, but it's just not hard at all. Any idea why this might be happening? I'm really scared.

This could be due to stress, fatigue, hormonal changes, or even excessive porn consumption leading to desensitization. Psychological factors like anxiety or physical issues like poor blood flow may also contribute. It's important to stay calm and consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance.
