If you're 17 and can easily retract your foreskin, you likely do not need surgery. Circumcision is generally not necessary if the foreskin can be fully retracted, and you're not experiencing pain, swelling, or other issues

My dad has kidney stones one is 7mm and the other is 15mm. Because of the bigger stone, his kidney has swollen a bit. Is homeopathic treatment a good option here? Can it actually cure stones this size, and how long might it take? He's really scared of surgery should we still consider it or is there another way?

Since the stone is larger in size ,percutaneous niphrolithotomy (PCNL) and uretroscopy is the gold standard procedure advised. A nephrologist opinion is advised for report review and further management of the patient .
