I'm a bit worried because I've been masturbating for about 10 years now and I've never had sex. I've heard that masturbation can cause issues like premature ejaculation and erectile dysfunction. I'm about to get married and I'm really unsure about what to expect. I'm just worried if I'll be able to satisfy my partner. How can I know for sure?

Can kidney stones this size be treated without surgery? I have an 8mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney and a 6.4mm one in the mid pole of my right kidney. What are my options besides surgery?

For an 8mm stone in the lower pole of your kidney, surgery is often recommended due to its size and location. Stones larger than 7-8mm in the lower pole are less likely to pass on their own and may require treatment such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy.5
