Can kidney stones this size be treated without surgery? I have an 8mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney and a 6.4mm one in the mid pole of my right kidney. What are my options besides surgery?

For an 8mm stone in the lower pole of your kidney, surgery is often recommended due to its size and location. Stones larger than 7-8mm in the lower pole are less likely to pass on their own and may require treatment such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy.5

Question

I've been feeling this burning sensation inside the skin of my penis after masturbating, and it's kind of worrying me. Plus, after a while, there's this white substance that appears when I move the skin, and honestly, it's pretty uncomfortable and making it hard for me to masturbate. What could this be, and should I be concerned about it?
