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 experiencing this weird sensation todayit's like a soft, rhythmic buzzing at the tip or root of my penis, almost like a phone vibrating. It's not painful but quite persistent. My mom passed away on February 24th, and I've been taking care of her for the last couple of weeks. I'm worried I might have caught some kind of infection, although there's no pain, itching, or burning. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

provided you don't have any symptoms other than this buzzing sensation, which doesn't have any proper medical disease. This buzzing sensation can be due to stress,, probably because of losing your mother. Try to manage your stress by meditation or pranayama,, visit psychiatrist if problem persists.
