I'm really worried about having two stones, one that's 14mm in the kidney and another 20 mm in the urinary bladder, especially since I also have heart issues. Could this cause any complications, and what should I do about it?

For the 14mm stone, medication such as Tamsulosin may be attempted in trying to let the stone pass, but the larger stone will definintely need surgical intervention. In such a condition, it may be best to treat both renal calculi with lithotripsy. Since the patient has a cardiac disease history, it is imperative to get clearance from the consulting cardiologist before proceeding.

I've noticed this strange dark discoloration on the head of my penis, and it seems to get more noticeable after I take a shower. Oddly though, whenever I masturbate, it doesn't really appear there anymore. It doesnt hurt or cause any irritation at all. Could this be related to an STD?

Candid cream for local application,for 2 weeks is advised.
