I've had a 7mm kidney stone for a month now that hasn't moved at all. It's not painful but causing issues like blood in my urine, burning sensation, and trouble urinating. Should I consider surgery or is there another way to deal with this?

I've been having some concerns and I'm hoping you can help. A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and since then, I've noticed a 0.5 inch lump on my right testicle, which is also a bit larger than my left one. There's nothing like that on my left testicle. Could this be epididymitis, or is it something else I should be worried about?
