Found a 22.8 mm kidney stone at the pelviureteric junction and my doctor recommended surgery. Just wondering if there are other treatment options I could explore before going under the knife?

I've been dealing with erectile dysfunction for the past 4 years and I'm not sure what to do next. What tests should I get to figure out the cause? Also, I'm confused about treatment options would allopathic medicine, ayurvedic therapy, or surgery work better for my situation?
For erectile dysfunction, tests like testosterone levels, penile Doppler, and blood sugar are helpful. Allopathic treatments like PDE5 inhibitors are most effective; Ayurveda may support, but surgery is rare and used only in severe cases.

I've got a penis that's 6 inches in length, and I'm curious if this is enough to satisfy a partner. Also, is there any chance it can grow more since I'm already past 20?
A 6-inch penis length is within the average range, and it is generally considered sufficient for sexual satisfaction. After 20 years of age, significant natural growth is unlikely, as most growth occurs during puberty. Satisfaction in sexual relationships is more about emotional connection and communication than size.
