I've been having really bad pain in my lower abdomen and my IVP report says my left kidney isn't showing up on the scan. The doctor told me my left kidney is in the tube and surgery isn't an option. I'm really worried is there any chance surgery could still be possible? What does this mean for me?

I've been dealing with some issues related to urination and I'm worried it might be connected to my past habits. I started masturbating when I was 16, but I've stopped for over a year now. Even so, I'm experiencing night falls and a delay in urination. Could this be related to what I used to do, or might there be another cause? I'm really concerned and wondering what steps I should take to address this.

It's good that you've stopped the habit, but it may take time for your body to fully adjust. Difficulty with urination and nightfall can sometimes be related to underlying factors like stress, hormonal changes, or prostate health. I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to evaluate your symptoms and discuss potential treatment options.
