I'm a bit worried about having to go through the keyhole procedure to remove a stone that's 18 mm in my left kidney. Is there any other method that doesn't involve making a hole in my kidney? Any alternative treatments or less invasive options that you could suggest?

I'm a 25-year-old guy, and I've been feeling really self-conscious about my penis size, which is about 3 inches. I had an experience with my girlfriend where she wasn't satisfied, and it's been making me feel really guilty and embarrassed. I've heard about treatments for penis enlargement, specifically with Unani Medicines, but I'm not sure where to start. Should I be seeing a urologist or a sexologist to discuss this? I'm really curious and a bit worried about how to approach the situation.

My father has grade 1 prostate enlargement at 56cc and is currently on medications like martifur, tamsulosin hydrochloride, solicept, and b complex. He's very weak and using a catheter to pass urine, so surgery isn't an option for him right now. Can grade 1 prostate be cured with just medications, or is surgery the only way? His health is fragile, and we're really hoping medicine alone can help. What would you suggest?

Grade‚ÄØ1 prostate enlargement in frail patients may be managed with alpha-blockers and 5‚Äëalpha-reductase inhibitors.Long‚Äëterm catheter vs surgery depends on symptoms and health.
