Question

I've had kidney stones for years and now have a large 29 mm stone stuck in my left ureter near the bladder plus two smaller ones in my left kidney. My ultrasound shows mild hydronephrosis too. I've been using homeopathic meds like Berberis and Cantharis but not sure if they're helping. Can alcohol or beer actually help pass these stones or should I consider surgery given the size of the big one? Is medicine alone enough or do I need other treatment options?

Given the size of the kidney stone (29mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the best treatment option. While some homeopathic remedies like Berberis and Cantharis might provide some relief, they are unlikely to be sufficient to remove the stone or address the hydronephrosis. Alcohol or beer may not significantly aid stone passage, and could even worsen the pain and discomfort

So, I'm a bit concerned about whether masturbation could cause any issues after getting married. I've been doing it for about 5 years but have recently stopped. Would love to get your insight on this.
