My wife has a 14mm kidney stone should we consider surgery or can medicine dissolve it? What's the best way to handle this?

For a 14mm kidney stone, surgical intervention is typically recommended as the first-line treatment. While medications can help manage pain and aid in passing smaller stones, they cannot dissolve 14mm stones. Surgery, along with other options like lithotripsy, are more effective for larger stones.

I'm wondering if I might be dealing with premature ejaculation because I tend to ejaculate within 3 to 4 minutes when I masturbate. Is this something to be concerned about, and what can I do to manage it better? Any advice would be really appreciated.

Question

I drink a lot of water every day but I pee very frequently like within an hour after drinking 500ml. Is this a urinary problem? If I don't drink water, I can go 5 hours without feeling the urge. My dad recently had prostate surgery at 75 could I have something similar? Also, how do I bring up checking my testicles with the doc since it's related to my urinary issues? Should I get any tests done to figure this out?
