I've been masturbating while lying down for a couple of years, and recently I found out it might be harmful to my penis. So, I stopped, but now I've noticed that my penis is curved to the right, and the color of the head has changed in some areas. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or will it naturally get better if I just stop masturbating?

It's good that you've stopped, but changes in the shape or color of your penis could indicate a condition that needs attention. A curved penis could be a sign of Peyronie's disease, and changes in color might suggest other concerns. It's best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and guidance on treatment.

Can daflon 500 help with venous leakage? I'm really worried and would love some advice on whether it could improve my situation. What do you think?

Daflon 500, which contains a combination of diosmin and hesperidin, is commonly used to improve venous tone and reduce inflammation in conditions like varicose veins or venous insufficiency. While it may help improve circulation and alleviate symptoms, it is not a direct treatment for venous leakage. It's important to consult your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment plan tailored to your condition.

I've been diagnosed with a 56mm kidney stone but haven't had any pain for the last few hours - is this size too big to pass naturally or will I need surgery

needs P/E for better advice.

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

I've got kidney stones in both kidneys some are as big as 15 mm and others around 6 mm. Since they're too large to pass on their own, is it usually possible to remove all of them in a single surgery or would I need multiple procedures?

15mm kidney stone typically requires surgical intervention. Stones this size are unlikely to pass naturally and can cause complications if left untreated
