Hey, I'm a bit concerned because after masturbating, my foreskin isn't going back up and it's a little swollen underneath. There's no pain, but it's making me a bit anxious. Any advice on what I should do?

It sounds like you might be experiencing temporary swelling or tightness in the foreskin after masturbation, which can happen occasionally. If there's no pain or severe discomfort, it should improve on its own. However, if it persists or causes more concern, it's a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance.

I'm really worried about my health right now. I have a 23 mm microlith in the upper pole of my kidney with some minimal hydronephrosis. There's this constant, mild pain on my right side, both in the kidney and the tube area. I'm also feeling pretty weak. I just got checked out yesterday, and they mentioned an edematous UV junction in my urinary bladder, plus a cyst and something about my thyroid. Is this something serious? What can I do about it? I'm really hoping to get some advice.

I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.
