I've got a 16 mm stone in my left kidney and a 6 mm stone in my right. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible. Can these be removed without having to go under the knife?

The 6mm stone in your right kidney is likely to pass on its own with hydration and medical expulsive therapy, but the 16mm stone in your left kidney is larger and less likely to pass naturally; for the larger stone, surgeon may recommend shock wave lithotripsy (SWL), ureteroscopy, or percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) to break up or remove the stone, depending on its composition, location, and your overall health; consult a urologist or nephrologist

I'm dealing with bilateral grade 1 varicocele and it's really uncomfortable. There's this burning sensation and it feels heavy down there. I've noticed my left testicle is hanging much lower than the right one. Is that normal, or should I be worried about something like testicular torsion? Any tips on how to prevent it from getting worse?

My wife is 48 with only one ovary and tube left. I'm 55 with no bad habits and had varicocele surgery 10 years ago for mild oligospermia, but now dealing with erectile dysfunction. What tests should I get to check male fertility, and is there still a chance we can conceive naturally if her remaining tube is open?
Get semen analysis, FSH, LH, testosterone; HSG for wife—natural conception is possible if remaining tube is open.
