I have a 6 mm kidney stone stuck in the left ureter near the bladder, and my doctor is recommending ureteroscopy surgery. I'm not in India right now I live in Kuwait and I'm wondering if this can be treated with medicine instead or if surgery is really necessary. The CT report shows the stone's location clearly. What would be the best option for me?

View allI'm 19 and I've recently stopped watching porn and masturbating. However, since then, I've been experiencing nightfall almost every day. Is there a way to address this issue or something I'm missing? I'm really looking for some advice here.
It's normal to experience nightfall (nocturnal emissions) during adolescence, especially after changes in sexual habits. It usually resolves on its own over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep, stress management, and avoiding overstimulation can help reduce frequency. If it continues or concerns you, a visit to a doctor might provide further reassurance.

I've been dealing with this issue where my foreskin sticks to the glans, and I've noticed there's some whiteness on the glans too. The skin doesn't retract when I have an erection. It used to not retract at all, but I've been gently trying to retract it in warm water, and now it retracts a bit more, but only up to about 25. I really want to avoid circumcision if there's another solution, even if it takes a while. Are there any topical creams or treatments you could recommend?
