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 allI'm 22 and just realized I have this phimosis condition because I can't retract the foreskin on my penis, whether it's normal or erect. I thought it was normal until I read about it online and talked to some friends. I'm really scared of having surgery like circumcision. Can you explain what causes phimosis and what my options might be?

I've been feeling this burning sensation inside the skin of my penis after masturbating, and it's kind of worrying me. Plus, after a while, there's this white substance that appears when I move the skin, and honestly, it's pretty uncomfortable and making it hard for me to masturbate. What could this be, and should I be concerned about it?
it might be some fungal infection,keep that area clean. Avoid moisture in that area
