I've been dealing with some mild pain and discomfort in my perineal area for the past month. It kind of feels like something's trying to push its way out, and there's this sensation of stretching inside. I went to a urologist, but he suggested I see a neurologist instead. What could be going on with me?

View allI'm really worried because I've had a swollen foreskin for the past three days. What could be causing this, and how can I treat it? It's been pretty uncomfortable, and I'm not sure if it's something serious. Could this be an infection or something else?
Kidney Stone Treatment: Hospital vs. Homeopathic Approach _Current situation:_ 1. _Diagnosed with a 5.7mm kidney stone_: Now reduced to 3mm. 2. _Severe pain_: Initially required hospital admission. _Considerations for leaving the hospital:_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: You may be discharged too early, potentially leading to: - Stone growth or fragmentation - Recurring pain - Increased risk of complications (e.g., infection, blockage) 2. _Lack of medical supervision_: Homeopathic treatment may not provide adequate monitoring or address potential complications. 3. _Uncertain efficacy of homeopathic remedies_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stones, their effectiveness is not extensively scientifically proven. _Recommended course of action:_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your desire to explore homeopathic treatment options and seek their advice. 2. _Complete conventional treatment_: Ensure you finish the recommended treatment course in the hospital to minimize the risk of complications. 3. _Post-discharge follow-up_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed. _Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum):_ 1. _Traditional remedy_: This plant is sometimes used in traditional medicine to help manage kidney stones. 2. _Limited scientific evidence_: While some studies suggest potential benefits, more research is needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been struggling with masturbation for about 7 years now. It feels like I'm really addicted and I want to quit but I just don't know how. I'm also worried, does masturbating lead to low sperm count or could it affect my ability to have kids in the future? I'm pretty scared about this and would really appreciate some advice.

my dad has a 7mm calculus in his left mid ureter and the doctor recommended urs surgery can we wait a bit longer to see if it passes naturally or is surgery urgent
A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.
