My dad's ultrasound found 3 kidney stones around 10mm in his left kidney and a 9mm gallstone. His feet stay swollen all the time but no pain yet. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if stones this big can be treated without surgery and how long the removal process usually takes

I'm wondering if using coconut oil under the foreskin is a good idea for keeping things clean, especially to prevent smegma. If coconut oil isn't recommended, what other options are there that I can try? Just trying to figure out the best way to maintain hygiene down there.
Using coconut oil under the foreskin can actually lead to a buildup of smegma and increase the risk of infections. A better substitute for keeping the area clean is to use a mild, unscented soap and warm water during daily hygiene routines. Additionally, applying a thin layer of over-the-counter antifungal cream like Clotrimazole cream twice a day can help prevent smegma buildup and maintain proper hygiene.
