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 having a bit of an issue and I'm really curious about what's going on. I seem to need constant stimulation to keep an erection; otherwise, it goes away in about 10 seconds. I'm physically fit and have no problems with blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar levels. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this? Its just a bit worrying since everything else seems fine.

Can a 9mm kidney stone be treated with just medication and fluids or is surgery necessary? I've attached my sonography report for reference what would you suggest based on the findings?

Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.
