I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.

I'm a bit confused and worried about having an uncircumcised penis. Is there anything I should be considering if I want to get circumcised, or is there any issue with remaining uncircumcised? I've included a photo that resembles mine. Could you provide some advice?

I've been dealing with a pretty serious issue and I'm really worried about it. Whenever I look at my penis, it seems to be a bit crooked, like it's slightly bending to one side. I'm hoping for some advice or help on how I might be able to fix this and get it to be straight.
