I'm a 25-year-old guy and my parents are pushing me to get married. But here's the thing, I get really nervous and scared whenever I think about it. The main issue is that my penis doesn't stay strong and if it does, I ejaculate in like 30-40 seconds. I've had a habit of watching porn 247 for about three and a half years, though I stopped a few months back. Once, I tried having sex with a woman who was willing, but I got so scared, my heart felt like it was beating ten times faster than usual. Even when we just talked on the phone, I'd feel something coming out of my penis. Is there anything I can do to sort this out? Any advice would be really helpful.

It's understandable that you're feeling anxious, but this situation is more common than you might think. Anxiety and past habits like excessive porn consumption can affect sexual performance. Its important to focus on improving your mental health, reducing stress, and allowing time for recovery. Consider speaking with a healthcare professional or a therapist to guide you through these issues and develop a plan to regain confidence and improve your well-being.

I have an 18mm stone in my renal tube but haven't had any issues for a year can it be treated with just medicine or is surgery necessary? How safe is surgery and what would you recommend in my case?

Kidney stones should be removed by surgery if they cause repeated infections in the urine or because they are blocking the flow of urine from the kidney. Today, surgery usually involves small or no incisions (cuts), minor pain and minimal time off work.

My brother has grade II varicocele in his left testis and deals with mild to severe pain daily The urologist said surgery is only needed if the testis size reduces but can we consider surgery now just for pain relief Are there other ways to manage the pain without surgery

While surgery (varicocelectomy or embolization) can be considered for pain relief in a grade II varicocele, especially if it's severe and unresponsive to other treatments, it's not always the first choice. Other conservative methods like scrotal support, pain medication, and lifestyle adjustments can be tried first. If pain persists and is significantly impacting quality of life, surgery might be recommended.
