I have a 9.2 mm stone in my left kidney can it pass with medicine or will I need surgery? I'm worried about the size and if it's too big to remove naturally. What are my options?

For larger stones (> 4 mm), medical treatment is often required to enable kidney stones to be passed through the body. Common methods of care include soundwave therapy, surgery, and using a ureteroscope.

I'm really curious about how I can make my penis muscles stronger. Do Kegel exercises help with that, or should I focus on other physical exercises too? I want to know which exercises are the most effective for strengthening those muscles.

To strengthen the penis muscles, focus on exercises that target the pelvic floor muscles, such as Kegel exercises, which involve contracting and releasing the muscles that stop urine flow; other beneficial exercises include pelvic tilts, bridges, and squats; additionally, physical exercises like weightlifting, running, and swimming can improve overall cardiovascular health and blood flow, which can also benefit penis health; remember to also practice good lifestyle habits, such as maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and getting enough sleep.

My son is 21 now and was born with an undescended testis. He had surgery at 1 year to bring it down, but now one testis isn't growing evenly and he's feeling slight pain there. Is this normal or could there be a problem?

My wife has stones one in her kidney and another in her gallbladder. She keeps getting pain on the right side of her stomach every few weeks. The doctor recommended surgery, but is there any way to treat this without an operation? What can we do when the pain flares up? Would homeopathy be a good option for her?
