I'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.

I've been diagnosed with a 10mm ureteral stone stuck at the EVJ and the pain is really bad. My family has a history of uric acid stones, so chances are this is one too. Can homeopathic medicines help me avoid surgery, or would lithotripsy be an option if they don't work? I'm worried about needing an operation.

Homeopathy to some extent works in certain patients.Medical therapy initially works , to relieve pain obstruction and control of infection .Gold standard of treatment is Shock wave lithotripsy and uretroscopy is the best approachalso ESWL(extracorporeal shock wave lithrotropsy is advised.

I've been feeling this weird tingling sensation in my urethra for a while now, but there's no UTI or any other known problem. It's not painful when I pee, and I don't seem to have any prostate issues. It usually comes when I'm trying to sleep, making me really restless, though it does go away on its own after a bit. It's kind of torturous when it's there. Do you think it could be urethral syndrome or maybe something related to nerves? Are there any meds that could help with this?

Urethral irritation usually presents in this way. To help alleviate the tingling sensation, you can try taking Flavoxate (brand name Urispas) 200 mg tablets. This medication helps to relax the muscles in the bladder and urethra, reducing the discomfort you are feeling. However, it is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.
