Question 1

I'm having this consistent mild pain in my testicle, mostly on the left side. My doctor thought it might be epididymitis and put me on antibiotics, but it's been three weeks and I'm still in pain and feeling uncomfortable.

Yes,surgery is the only option.PCNL-percutaneous nephrolithotomy,URSL-uretroscopic lithotripsy and lastly RIRS--retrograde intrarenal surgery here a fexible scope is inserted into the kidney stone is located and fragmented into smaller pieces using a laser technolgy.But URSL is the procedure specifically used for removal of stones in the urethra and ureter by passing a flexxible tube and use of laser and fragmenting the stones and the small stones usually pass through urethra.
