I had a cystoscopy two days ago for a kidney stone in my upper right ureter and I'm a bit confused about what to eat and what precautions to take now. I found different diet suggestions online and not sure which one to follow. Can you help me with a clear diet plan and any other steps I should take after this surgery?

Post-cystoscopy, eat light, hydrate well, avoid spicy foods, and monitor for fever or severe burning.

I'm really confused and worried right now. Yesterday, I had a really bad stomachache and ended up going to the hospital. They gave me an injection for the pain, and after some time, I started feeling better. The doctor took an X-ray and showed me that I have three kidney stones, about 8mm each. He prescribed medicines for 5 days but recommended that I get laser surgery to remove the stones. I'm not sure if I should go through with the surgery. Is it possible to avoid surgery and get rid of the stones with just medication? I'd really appreciate your advice.
Given the size (8mm) and number (3) of kidney stones, laser surgery (lithotripsy) is a common and effective treatment, but it's not the only option; your doctor may consider medical expulsive therapy (MET) using medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stones naturally; however, the success of MET depends on the size, location, and number of stones, as well as your overall health, so it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits of both surgery and medical treatment with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm really concerned about the duration of my sex intercourse. It seems way too shortusually about 25 to 30 seconds at most. I'm curious about what the average time is for other people and would really appreciate some advice on how to improve this situation. Any suggestions or solutions would be super helpful.
