I'm really worried about a kidney stone I have that's 1.2 cm; it showed up on a CT scan. I've been to a specialist hospital, and they mentioned the possibility of laser treatment. Is there any way this can be treated with medication instead? What should I consider?

My semen analysis is normal but I have varicocele and the doctor said surgery isn't needed. I also have a lot of chest fat and was told it's gynecomastia. Could the varicocele be causing this? Are there any natural ways to reduce the gynecomastia without surgery?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
