I've had a kidney stone for the past 7 years and recent USG shows CKD stage 1. Do I really need surgery for the stone even though I don't have sugar or blood pressure issues? Also could my menstruation problems be related to these kidney issues?

View allI'm a 25-year-old guy with a penis size of 25 inches, and I have a beard and mustache that aren't very rough. I'm curious about ways to increase my penis size and make my beard and mustache rougher. Can you please give me some advice on this?
To increase penis size, there are no proven medications or treatments available. It is important to remember that penis size is determined by genetics and cannot be significantly altered. As for increasing the roughness of your beard and mustache, you can try using minoxidil solution 5% twice daily on the affected areas. This can help promote hair growth and make the hair appear thicker and rougher.
