I have an 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in my ureter about 7 cm from the bladder. Is there a chance it can pass on its own or will I need surgery? I'm currently taking Elements Uri flush syrup but not sure if it's enough to help

An 8.33 mm kidney stone stuck in the ureter, 7 cm from the bladder, has a lower chance of passing naturally, but it's not impossible. While the Urology Associates of Central Missouri indicates that stones larger than 6 mm rarely pass on their own, the precise location and other factors can influence the outcome. Your current use of Elements Uri flush syrup may help, but it's crucial to consult a urologist for personalized advice and potential treatment options.

I'm experiencing something that's been bothering me. Whenever my penis gets erect, sperm starts leaking, and after a while, it flows out. I also seem to be having issues with night emissions. Plus, when my penis becomes erect, it doesn't stay straight; it bends slightly to the right. Could you offer some advice on how to deal with these issues?

It sounds like you're experiencing a few concerns related to erectile function and nocturnal emissions. It's important to consult a healthcare professional, such as a urologist, to evaluate these issues in detail and determine any underlying causes. A proper diagnosis can help guide effective treatment options.
