I'm wondering if applying olive oil every day to the penis and glans might lead to a loss of sensation there. Just a bit worried and curious about the possible effects it could have. Could this actually make the area less sensitive over time?

Daily massage with olive oil on the penis and glans is unlikely to cause a sensationless penis. However, excessive or improper use of any oil or substance could potentially lead to irritation or sensitivity issues. It's important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any unusual changes or discomfort.

My ultrasound report shows a 6mm calculus in the right lower ureter, about 1 cm from the UVJ. Do I really need laparoscopic surgery for this or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about the procedure and wondering if it's absolutely necessary.
