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 a bit concerned because I masturbated today but didn't ejaculate any sperm, though it felt like I did. I recently found out I have a 5mm kidney stone and have been on medication for a couple of days. Could the meds or the stone be affecting this, or should I be worried about something else?

I've been feeling this light but uncomfortable pain in my testicles and lower abdomen for the past 56 days. I'm not sure what's causing it, and it's starting to worry me. Could you help me figure out what might be going on?
The persistent light pain in your testicles and lower abdomen could be due to various reasons such as epididymitis, orchitis, or a urinary tract infection; consider consulting a urologist or a primary care physician for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, apply warm compresses to the area, avoid strenuous activities, and monitor for worsening symptoms or accompanying signs like fever, swelling, or discharge.
