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 really worried about my health because of my past habits, and I need some advice. I've noticed that after years of excessive masturbation, things are starting to change for the worse now that I'm 21. I used to do it up to 34 times a day, and it has left me with some concerning issues. My nerves feel really weak, my penis bends to the left, and I can't seem to remember things as well as I used to. I also experience muscular pain and sometimes gastritis, and my mindset isn't great either; the fear of dying is always hovering over me. Blood circulation doesn't seem right, and I've got low sperm and hemoglobin counts. On top of that, I keep having wet dreams way too frequently. I really want to regain my vitality, vigor, and overall strength. Can you give me some guidance on how to turn these things around?
