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 26 and dealing with pain in my left testicle turns out I have grade 1 varicocele after getting a USG. Is there any way to treat this without surgery? The pain gets worse when I have strong sexual urges, stand too long, pass stool, or lift heavy stuff. I just want to get back to my normal pain-free life and start working out again

Yes, there are non-surgical treatments for a grade 1 varicocele that can help manage pain and improve your quality of life. While surgery is the most effective long-term solution, it's not always necessary for mild cases like yours. You can try lifestyle changes and over-the-counter pain relief to manage your symptoms

I've been noticing that some of the nerves on my penis have been swollen over the past couple of weeks. They feel kind of hard, almost like there's a blockage. Normally, it doesn't hurt, but I do feel pain when I press on them or during any sexual activity. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it considered normal?
