Can a 9mm kidney stone be treated with just medication and fluids or is surgery necessary? I've attached my sonography report for reference what would you suggest based on the findings?

Most evidence suggests that stones less than 10 mm in diameter have a reasonable chance of passing through the urinary tract spontaneously. You may be offered medical expulsive therapy (MET) using an alpha blocker medication, such as tamsulosin.

I've been dealing with overmasturbation for about 23 years, sometimes up to 12 times a day. In the past 12 months, I've been feeling really weak and facing issues with erections, along with other side effects. I'm turning 19 years old in June. Is there a way to permanently treat this? Can I fully recover and enjoy a healthy sexual life in the future? Please help me out here.

It's important to remember that while occasional masturbation is normal, excessive or compulsive behavior can lead to physical and mental exhaustion. Reducing the frequency and focusing on a healthy lifestyle, including proper diet, exercise, and mental well-being, can help restore balance. If you're facing persistent issues like erectile dysfunction, its a good idea to consult a healthcare professional who can provide personalized advice and support. Recovery is possible with the right approach!
