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 dealing with a bad smell coming from under my foreskin, and it's making me a bit worried. There's also some mild itching going on. I've tried washing it, but the smell just keeps coming back the next day. Could you please give me some advice on what might be happening and how to fix it?

It sounds like you may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer to the affected area twice a day for 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist, consult a doctor for further evaluation.

I'm a bit concerned about my urine test results which show pus cells at 34 hpf. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just normal?

If you don't have any lower abdominal pain, burning sensation during micturation, nausea and fever, then this reading can be considered normal as these numbers are not significant until you have symptoms associated with it but the report is generally normal.
