View allI'm 21 and pretty worried about my penis size. It's under 4 inches when erect, and that seems smaller than average. I'm really curious if there's still a chance it might grow naturally in the coming years, or if I should start thinking about surgical options soon. Would appreciate any advice on this.
At 21, your penis size is likely fully developed, with minimal chances of natural growth; research suggests that penis growth typically ends by age 18-20, with some variations; surgical options, like penile lengthening or girth enhancement, are available but carry risks and complication

I have an 18 mm kidney stone on the right side and an 11 mm one on the left. Can homeopathy really help remove stones this big or would I need surgery? What kind of procedure would be best for stones this size?
An 18 mm kidney stone usually requires surgical intervention for removal, as it's unlikely to pass naturally. Several minimally invasive procedures are commonly used, including ESWL (Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy), RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery), and URSL (Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy). PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) may also be considered if other methods are not suitable.
