I have a 4.2mm and 4.5mm kidney stone in my left kidney with hydronephrosis and calyceal separation of 9mm. My prevoid volume is 289cc and PVR is 20cc which they say is insignificant. Can you explain what the 9mm and 20cc measurements mean? Do I need surgery for this or can it be treated with medication?

The 9mm refers to hydronephrosis severity, and 20cc PVR is normal; stones this size often pass or dissolve with meds.

Question

I have a mild prostate enlargement and experiencing slight symptoms like delayed urination. Should I consider surgery or will medication be enough to manage it?

I'm having some trouble with my foreskin when my penis is erect. The head is fully visible, but the foreskin seems a bit attached to the backside of the head and won't fully retract down the shaft. It's making me a little concerned. What should I do about this?

Question

I'm keeping my foreskin pulled back all the time, so the head of my penis is always exposed. I'm curious if there's any harm in doing this or if it's better to keep it covered. I don't have any problems with my foreskin, but I want my penis to have that circumcised look. Could you let me know if there's any downside to this?
