I'm worried because I'm not seeing any sperm when I masturbate, and I'm dealing with a kidney stone located at the junction of my urethra and bladder. Could this stone be blocking sperm flow or affecting it somehow? What's going on here?

once stones pass the bladder neck they will come down easily through urethra,, and if you are passing urine then they is no block there. Drink plenty of urine it will push any stones (small enough to pass bladder neck), will pass through urethra

I'm having a bit of a problem where my frenulum seems too short, making my foreskin really tight and painful when I try to pull it back over the head. I'm wondering, is frenuloplasty my only option here? Also, how much does that kind of surgery typically cost?

A short frenulum, known as frenulum breve, can cause discomfort and tightness when retracting the foreskin. **Frenuloplasty** is a common procedure to correct this by lengthening the frenulum. While it is an effective option, non-surgical treatments like topical steroids may also help in some cases. The cost of frenuloplasty can vary, typically ranging from $500 to $2,000, depending on the healthcare provider and location.
