I have a 7.4mm kidney stone and slight swelling in my right kidney. There's a bit of pain when I pee but no stomach pain. Can this be treated with meds or will I need surgery? What do you suggest?

View allI'm a bit worried about something and hoping you can help. Does masturbating too much cause any issues like varicocele? I'm also curious about other side effects of masturbation, especially if it can harm the testicles in any way.
Masturbating excessively does not directly cause varicocele, which is a condition where the veins inside the scrotum become enlarged. However, frequent masturbation can lead to temporary testicular pain or discomfort.

I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?
Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.

I had keyhole surgery for kidney stones back in August 2016 but just got an ultrasound scan that showed an 11mm and 5.5mm stone in my right kidney and a 3.5mm stone in my left kidney. I'm really worried about going through surgery again is there any way to treat these stones without surgery or is surgery the only option?
conservaive tt initially,if not responding sx is advised to the patient.
