I have left reanal hydronephrosis with a 7mm ureteric calculus in the lower part and a small 3mm concretion in the lower calyx of my left kidney should I consider medicine or is surgery the better option here

Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.

Question

I'm really confused about whether Kegels or reverse Kegels would help with premature ejaculation. I've heard that Kegels strengthen the PC muscles and might actually make premature ejaculation worse, but reverse Kegels relax the BC muscles and can be beneficial. Which one of these is accurate?

Question

My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back no matter how hard I try is there any way to fix this without surgery? I've heard about stretching or steroid creams do those actually work?

Question

I have retractile testicles where they mostly stay in the scrotum, but my right one moves up into the groin during ejaculation and stays there for a bit. If I decide to get surgery to keep it fixed in place, what's the success rate like? I'm 29, does age affect the outcome?
