I'm a 34-year-old male with a 9mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I have to travel abroad this month Is there any way to treat it without surgery I'm really worried about this

While a 9mm kidney stone might typically require surgery, there are some non-surgical options to consider, especially if travel is a concern. One possibility is shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL), which uses sound waves to break down the stone into smaller pieces that can pass through the urinary tract. Another option is ureteroscopy, where a small camera is inserted through the urethra to locate and remove the stone, or to break it down with laser or other tools.

I'm having some trouble managing my sexual urges, and it's impacting my focus on my career. I find myself masturbating at least twice a week, and I'm currently single with no plans to get married. I really enjoy sex but prefer being alone. Lately, I've noticed my erections are not as strong or lasting as they used to be. Are there any operations or medications that can help control these feelings? I'd appreciate any advice.

I've been having this burning sensation when I pee, mostly in the mornings. It's way worse if I've had alcohol the night before. I've had my urine checked a couple of times, and there was a small infection. But if it's an infection, why isn't it going away? Its been nearly a year now. What could be going on with me?
