A 7.44mm kidney stone in your left kidney, even without current pain or urine issues, may not necessarily require surgery, but it's important to consult with a doctor. While smaller stones can pass on their own, larger ones like this one may be more likely to cause problems down the line

Can surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostatitis increase the risk of prostate cancer later on I'm 58 with a PSA of 18.9 and worried about this possibility

No, surgery for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or prostatitis generally does not increase the risk of prostate cancer later on. However, there are other factors that can affect PSA levels and potentially lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer after treatment for BPH or prostatitis.
