I have a 6mm kidney stone stuck in the middle of my left ureter and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medicines that can help pass it naturally? I've heard stones this size can sometimes be treated without surgery but not sure what options work best.

I'm newly married, just about two weeks ago, and I've been having some issues when trying to have intercourse. My erection doesn't seem to last. When my penis gets hard and I attempt to enter the vagina, it suddenly loses the erection. Even if I do manage to get it up again, the same thing keeps happening. It's really depressing and making me anxious. Do you think this is a permanent issue? Also, my penis is around 11 centimeters longis that adequate for sex? Is there a cure for these erection problems, or is there something I should be doing differently?

Can minor kidney stones be treated with medicine alone and what lifestyle changes or precautions should I take to avoid surgery

Small kidney stones can often be treated with medications like alpha blockers or pain relievers. Drinking plenty of water, reducing sodium intake, and eating a balanced diet with less oxalate can help prevent further stones.
