I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction lately and I'm really worried about it. Can you offer any advice on what might be causing this, or suggest any potential treatments I could look into? It's been quite concerning and I just need some guidance on what steps to take next.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can result from physical or psychological causes like stress, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, or lifestyle factors. Start by consulting a doctor for proper evaluation, as treatments like medications, counseling, or lifestyle changes can help improve your condition.

View allI've been wondering and I'm a bit worried because when I was around 16, I used to masturbate a lot and applied pressure on my penis against the bed. Now, my outer skin has kind of opened up, and the inner skin is exposed. I'm concerned if this could cause any issues in the future. Could you give me some advice on whether this might be a problem?
Sounds like you may have experienced some trauma to the skin of your penis. If the inner skin is now exposed to the environment, it is important to keep the area clean to prevent infection. You can apply an antibiotic ointment like Neosporin twice a day to the affected area. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with any discomfort. If you notice any signs of infection such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or pus-like discharge, please seek medical attention promptly. It's also important to avoid any further trauma to the area to allow it to heal properly.

How can I permanently retract my foreskin without surgery because I find it unhygienic and prefer it to stay open? Are there safe non-surgical methods to keep the foreskin pulled back?
Foreskin retraction permanently can be aided by stretching exercises and steroid application daily;circumcision only needed if it fails after diligent therapy.

I've been diagnosed with multiple mild hydroureteronephrosis caused by a 7.1 mm stone in my upper ureter. There are also two stones in my right kidney (4.9 mm and 6.9 mm) and multiple stones in my left kidney with the largest being 4.7 mm and 2.2 mm. What should my next steps be? Can this be treated with just medications or will I need surgery?
Given the combination of stones and mild hydronephrosis, a multi-pronged approach is likely needed. The 7.1 mm stone in the ureter is likely to require medical or surgical intervention, while the smaller kidney stones might be managed medically, followed by a more targeted approach if necessary.
