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 really worried because my girlfriend says she wants me to have a 10-inch penis, but currently, it's only 5 inches. I'm concerned about her breaking up with me over this. Is there anything I can do to make it larger? Are there safe methods or treatments to consider? What are my options here?
It's important to focus on healthy communication and mutual respect in your relationship. Penis size does not determine the success of a relationship, and it's essential to address any concerns openly with your partner. If you're feeling stressed or uncertain, speaking with a healthcare professional or counselor could provide helpful guidance.
