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 a 20-year-old female and I've been having this issue where I need to pee every 45 minutes or so, and I really can't control it. It even kind of burns when I go. I feel like I'm constantly heading to the restroom and it's messing up my ability to get anything done. I thought maybe if I stopped drinking so much water it would help, but it hasn't made a difference at all. What could be going on, and what should I do?

Your symptoms suggest a possible urinary tract infection (UTI) or overactive bladder; consult a gynecologist or urologist immediately for a proper diagnosis and treatment, and in the meantime, drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria, avoid spicy or acidic foods, and consider keeping a bladder diary to track your symptoms and identify potential trigger
