Given the size of the ureteric calculus (7mm) and the presence of hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the better option for your situation. While a 3mm concretion in the lower calyx may be managed medically, the 7mm stone in the ureter and the associated hydronephrosis suggest a need for more definitive treatment.

I'm experiencing this pinching feeling in my scrotum, kind of like someone poking me with a pin, and it's super embarrassing when I'm trying to sit in public. Adjusting my testicles or penis doesnt seem to help at all, and I just can't resist the urge to itch down there. It comes on at random times and sometimes the pain is just too much to handle. When I look at my scrotum, it seems completely normal. What's going on?

I've been experiencing some discomfort with my foreskin lately. It's gotten really dry at the tip and it's even starting to crack, which is quite painful. I've also noticed some white patches around there. Should I be worried about this, and what can I do to treat it?
