I have a 3.8 cm stone and some smaller ones in my left kidney do I need surgery for this? And if yes, is it okay to wait until the first week of December or should I get it done sooner?

A 3.8 cm kidney stone and smaller ones in your left kidney likely require surgery. Waiting until the first week of December may not be advisable. Large stones (over 1 cm) rarely pass naturally and can cause severe pain, obstruction, or kidney damage. Early intervention is crucial, especially if you are experiencing pain, infection, or urinary tract obstruction.

Is it fine if I'm masturbating twice a week while I'm also working out pretty intensely? I'm a bit worried if this could have any impact on my muscle gains.

Yes, masturbating twice a week is perfectly normal and won't affect your muscle gains. Intense workouts and muscle growth depend on proper nutrition, rest, and consistent training. As long as you're maintaining these, occasional masturbation has no significant impact on your fitness progress.
