I have an 8mm stone stuck in my upper ureter and have been taking both homeopathic and allopathic medicines like distone. My doctor suggested surgery saying it might block urine flow if it stays, but it's been 20 days and I'm peeing normally. Can an 8mm stone still allow urine to pass through a 45mm ureter without causing blockage?

I'm a bit concerned about whether masturbation affects my calcium levels. I've noticed that after indulging more than 5-6 times a week, I sometimes end up with leg pain. Could this be related somehow? Would love to know your thoughts.
