I have kidney stones 22mm in my right kidney and 20mm in my left kidney. My doctor mentioned RIRS and PCNL as options for removal but I'm not sure which one is safer. I'm a bit nervous about surgery which procedure would be better for my case considering the stone sizes?

I've been dealing with weak erections lately and can't maintain them for long periods, which has been really knocking my confidence and impacting my relationship. I'm not sure what steps to take next. Should I see a cardiologist or a urologist? Sometimes I have morning erections, but they're not as firm as I would like. I don't smoke or drink, and I'm 23. What could be going on here?
