I've been diagnosed with multiple mild hydroureteronephrosis caused by a 7.1 mm stone in my upper ureter. There are also two stones in my right kidney (4.9 mm and 6.9 mm) and multiple stones in my left kidney with the largest being 4.7 mm and 2.2 mm. What should my next steps be? Can this be treated with just medications or will I need surgery?

Given the combination of stones and mild hydronephrosis, a multi-pronged approach is likely needed. The 7.1 mm stone in the ureter is likely to require medical or surgical intervention, while the smaller kidney stones might be managed medically, followed by a more targeted approach if necessary.

I'm a 24-year-old guy and I've been struggling with masturbation for about 7 years now. It feels like I'm really addicted and I want to quit but I just don't know how. I'm also worried, does masturbating lead to low sperm count or could it affect my ability to have kids in the future? I'm pretty scared about this and would really appreciate some advice.
