I've been getting this weird tingling and shooting pain in my penis, especially after a long erection, but sometimes even without one. Could this be connected to bloating somehow? It's really concerning me.

Bloating typically doesn't directly cause nerve pain in the penis, but pressure from abdominal bloating might irritate nearby nerves, potentially leading to discomfort. Shooting pain in the penis after prolonged erection or randomly could be due to nerve sensitivity, strain, or other underlying issues like pelvic floor tension. If it persists, consult a doctor.

I've noticed that my glans are really sensitive, to the point where it's uncomfortable to touch them. My foreskin retracts just fine without any issues, but I'm wondering if this level of sensitivity is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Could you help me understand what's going on here?

Usually thats normal,no need to worry if it is showing any burning sensation or pain visit Urologist for evaluation and appropriate management.

I recently had a sonography on May 2nd, 2019, which showed a 6.1mm stone in my lower ureter. For the last five days, I've had constant pain in my lower back and lower left side in the front. I've been taking cystone tablets and drinking lots of water since then. Is there a chance the stone might pass on its own, or is surgery the only option? I can urinate fine without burning, but sometimes I notice a bit of blood in my urine. What should be my next steps?

PCNL.uretroscopy are advised,kindly follow up with nephrologist.
