A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.

Question

I've been masturbating twice a day for the last 45 years, and I've never actually had sex with someone before. Last night, I tried to get intimate with my girlfriend, and I found out that my penis wasn't getting hard enough for sex. It was really disappointing, and now I'm worried. Any suggestions on what I should do?

Question

I'm dealing with a fungal infection on my penis and was told to take Zocon 400, two tablets total, with the second one supposed to be taken on the 7th day. I kind of messed up and ended up taking the second pill on the 9th day instead. Is that going to be a problem?

Question

I saw a video about phimosis and it mentioned it could lead to fungal infections should I be worried even if I haven't had any issues yet? Can it be treated with meds or is surgery the only option? If surgery is needed, are there any side effects? Also, could phimosis be affecting my penis size, and is there any way to increase it with medication?
