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.

My brother has phimosis and can't pull his foreskin back. He only noticed this recently but doesn't have issues with erections or peeing. However, he's been experiencing premature ejaculation during masturbation. Is this because of phimosis? What are the treatment options, and can surgery be done at his age? His wedding is in August would recovery be possible by then? Need advice as soon as possible.

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
