I've noticed that my penis head is red and swollen, and I'm having trouble with the foreskin not pulling back completely when I'm trying to clean it or do other stuff. It also hurts a bit when I pee. Can you tell me what might be going on and which kind of doctor I should see for this?

Can kidney stones this size be treated without surgery? I have an 8mm stone in the lower pole of my left kidney and a 6.4mm one in the mid pole of my right kidney. What are my options besides surgery?

For an 8mm stone in the lower pole of your kidney, surgery is often recommended due to its size and location. Stones larger than 7-8mm in the lower pole are less likely to pass on their own and may require treatment such as percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy.5
