I have a 67mm kidney stone stuck in my right ureter - is there any way to get rid of it without going through surgery? I'm really hoping for non-surgical options if possible

A 67mm stone usually needs surgical removal; non-surgical options are rarely effective at this size.

Question

I've been dealing with a urinary tract infection that lasted for nearly 2 months, from mid-February to mid-April. I initially thought this was why I couldn't ejaculate after masturbation during that period. Even though I'm now cured of the UTI, I'm worried because things aren't back to normal. After an orgasm, only a little semen comes out, and my penis feels really dry all the time. I'm really scared about this situation but I'm hesitant to visit a doctor because I'm still single. What could be causing this, and what should I do?

Question

I'm dealing with a varicocele and I'm wondering if I can still go to the gym and continue working out. Could you let me know what to expect with exercises and whether they could affect my condition?
