Found out I have a 9.2mm kidney stone near the VUJ do I really need surgery or can meds help break it down? Worried about the size and if it'll pass on its own.

A 9.2mm kidney stone at the ureteropelvic junction (UPJ) is large and unlikely to pass on its own. While medication can help manage pain and potentially aid in passage of smaller stones, larger stones like yours are often best addressed surgically. A urologist can evaluate your specific situation and determine the best course of treatment, which may include procedures like ureteroscopy or ESWL.

View allHey, I'm a 14-year-old guy and I've been going through something weird recently. Every time I masturbate, I get these super sharp, cramp-like pains in my stomach. It lasts for about a minute or so, and if I move around too much, I get the pain again but it feels like it's moving up towards my chest. I usually do it every day, so I'm kinda worried and wondering what's going on. Any idea what this could be?
Overexcitement_: Rushing into intercourse can lead to premature ejaculation. 2. _Lack of control_: Insufficient practice in controlling ejaculation can contribute to the issue. 3. _Performance anxiety_: Fear of not satisfying your partner can exacerbate the problem. _Solutions_ 1. _Practice relaxation techniques_: Regular relaxation practices, such as deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, can help reduce anxiety and improve control. 2. _Exercise pelvic floor muscles_: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through Kegel exercises can help improve ejaculation control. 3. _Use the "stop-start" technique_: During intercourse, stop when you feel close to ejaculation, wait for 30 seconds to 1 minute, and then resume. 4. _Try the "squeeze" technique_: When you feel close to ejaculation, squeeze the base of your penis or the head of your penis to delay ejaculation. 5. _Consider counseling or therapy_: A sex therapist or counselor can help you address underlying issues and develop strategies to improve your sexual performance. 6. _Topical anesthetics or delay sprays_: Certain products, like lidocaine or benzocaine sprays, can help reduce sensitivity and delay ejaculation. _Remember_ 1. _Communicate with your partner_: Openly discuss your concerns and work together to find solutions. 2. _Practice patience and persistence_: Overcoming premature ejaculation takes time and effort.

I had orchiopexy surgery about 4 years ago and now I noticed a small lump really close to the top of my testicle could this just be scar tissue from the surgery or something else I should get checked out?
do USG FOR FINAL DIAGNOSIS.

I'm dealing with a bilateral grade 1 varicocele, and I'm really worried because my left testicle is sagging a lot lower than my right one. It's causing a lot of pain and discomfort. I've seen a urologist who suggested I take Hetrazan and Health OK tablets, but they haven't really helped. Do you think I should consider surgery? If so, what type of surgery would be best with the least complications? I'm really anxious to find a solution.
Bilateral varicocele with discomfort, especially in the left testicle, may sometimes require surgery if symptoms persist. The most common option is laparoscopic varicocelectomy, which has fewer complications and a quicker recovery time compared to open surgery. It's best to discuss your symptoms and treatment options with your urologist to see if surgery is necessary in your case.
