I'm wondering how soon I can have sex now that my kidney stent has been removed. I had a ureteroscopy and laser surgery on May 11, 2017, to take out a stone from my kidney, and they left a stent in for two weeks. It was just removed yesterday, and my urine is mostly clear now, with just a bit of blood. Can you advise me on whether it's safe to resume sexual activity and if there are any precautions I should take?

After the removal of your kidney stent, its generally safe to resume sexual activity once any discomfort or bleeding has subsided and you're feeling comfortable. However, it's important to listen to your bodyif there's still slight bleeding or discomfort, its best to wait a few more days. Always consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

I'm wondering if it's safe to use almond oil on the penis. Does it actually have any benefits, especially when it comes to growth? Would love some guidance on whether this is a good idea or if there are any risks involved.

Applying almond oil to the penis is generally safe for moisturizing the skin, but it does not promote growth or increase size. Be cautious to avoid irritation or allergic reactions, and remember that no oil or cream can change the natural size of the penis.
