I'm a bit worried about my situation. When my penis is flaccid, I can easily pull the foreskin back. Is this normal? Should I be keeping it rolled back all the time, or is there a reason to be concerned?

Its normal for the foreskin to be easily pulled back when the penis is flaccid, as long as it doesnt cause discomfort or pain. It's not necessary to keep the foreskin rolled back all the time unless advised by a healthcare provider, as it may lead to irritation or other issues. Regular hygiene is important to prevent infections.

I'm really worried about my health right now. I have a 23 mm microlith in the upper pole of my kidney with some minimal hydronephrosis. There's this constant, mild pain on my right side, both in the kidney and the tube area. I'm also feeling pretty weak. I just got checked out yesterday, and they mentioned an edematous UV junction in my urinary bladder, plus a cyst and something about my thyroid. Is this something serious? What can I do about it? I'm really hoping to get some advice.

I noticed a 6mm calculus in the upper pole of my right kidney. Is surgery absolutely necessary or are there medicines that can help dissolve or pass it naturally? I'm a bit worried about invasive procedures and would prefer other options if possible. What would you recommend in this case?

surgery is advised to the patient.
