Can you suggest medication to help pass this kidney stone naturally without surgery? I've been taking the attached meds but wondering if there are better options or if I should stick with the current ones

Over-the-counter pain medications, like ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB), acetaminophen (Tylenol), or naproxen (Aleve), can help you endure the discomfort until the stones pass. Your doctor also may prescribe an alpha blocker, which relaxes the muscles in your ureter and helps pass stones quicker and with less pain

View allI'm trying to understand what's going on with some recent scan results. It mentions there's a right pleural effusion that's under 100 ml. How serious is that? Should I be worried? Also, it says there's a thick-walled urinary bladder with some post-void residue, and I'm wondering if it's linked to cystitis. Could you explain what this all means and what steps I should consider next?
That could be Urosepsis,do not neglect,visit Physician for appropriate management

For the past few months, I've been dealing with a burning sensation when I pee and having to push hard to empty my bladder. The flow is slow, not smooth, and sometimes splits into multiple streams. My doctor thinks it's likely a stricture and suggested surgery. Are there other treatment options? Also, I've noticed a sudden drop in libido and weaker erections could this be connected?
A urethral stricture can cause these symptoms; options like dilation or endoscopic urethrotomy may be tried before surgery.
