I've been getting small cuts on my foreskin and it's tough to pull it back when I'm erect do I need surgery or a circumcision to fix this?

I've had kidney stones for over 20 years with 7 surgeries already. Now there's a 6mm stone at the VUJ and my doctor prescribed cifaxime 200, Uritin 04, and aquzide 12.5. Right now, I only feel sharpness in my penis and discomfort around that area no back pain or bleeding. Can a stone this size pass naturally or do I need to worry?

There are several factors which predict some passage. Size of stone, duration, inflammation etc. Need more information.

My mom just got diagnosed with an 11mm kidney stone. Can this be treated with meds or will she need surgery? If surgery is needed, what kind would they recommend and how does it work?

For a kidney stone 11mm in size, treatment options often involve surgical procedures, as stones larger than 10mm are generally not expected to pass naturally. Common surgical techniques include Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy (PCNL), Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS, and Ureteroscopic Lithotripsy (URSL). Medications can also play a role in managing pain and helping stones pass, but are less likely to be effective for larger stones.
