I'm thinking about trying out this condom brand called Durex Extra Time. It has benzocaine, I think about 5%, and I've never used it before. I heard it might numb the tip of the penis a bit to help delay ejaculation. Are these kinds of condoms safe to use regularly? Could using them often have any negative effects on my penis or overall health?

Durex Extra Time condoms, which contain benzocaine (a mild local anesthetic), are generally considered safe for use. They work by numbing the tip of the penis to help delay ejaculation. However, using them frequently may lead to temporary numbness or irritation for some individuals. If you experience any discomfort or allergic reactions, it's best to discontinue use and consult a healthcare provider.

I've had a 7mm kidney stone for a month now that hasn't moved at all. It's not painful but causing issues like blood in my urine, burning sensation, and trouble urinating. Should I consider surgery or is there another way to deal with this?
Non-painful 7mm stones causing hematuria and burning may need lithotripsy—consult urology for treatment options.
