I'm a 29-year-old male and I've never been able to pull my foreskin back when erect, though I can stretch it to the level shown in the picture when flaccid. My main concerns are do I need surgery or can this be managed with stretching exercises and creams? Also, is this because of a tight foreskin or a short frenulum breve like in the picture?

View allI've noticed these red dots appearing on the head of my penis, and they tend to vanish after a couple of days only to come back again. It's weird because when they show up, I get a mild burning feeling, but there's no itching. Do you have any idea what might be causing this cycle of disappearing and reappearing red dots?

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been experiencing some discomfort in my left testicle. There's been no recent injury or anything like that, but it still hurts even with just a light touch. Should I be concerned about this?

I have a 12mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to avoid it. Are there any other options or treatments that could help pass or dissolve the stone without going under the knife?
It is impossible to pass a 12 mm kidney stone as it is too big to move through the urinary tract. Also, such a big kidney stone is highly unlikely to dissolve through oral medication and thus requires surgery for safe removal.
