Just found out I have a 7mm kidney stone in my left ureter from a CT KUB scan. Really hoping to avoid surgery or lithotripsy are there any meds or other options that could help pass it naturally?

I'm really struggling with my flaccid penis size it's around 4.5 inches and almost looks erect all the time. It's causing me so much embarrassment because people keep staring at my groin area, and I can't even tuck my shirt in for work or formal events. It's making me feel really depressed. Are there any medications or surgeries that could help? Would cosmetic plastic surgery be an option for this?

A flaccid length of 4.5 inches is within normal range. If it's causing psychological distress, consult a urologist or plastic surgeon—options like ligament release exist but are controversial.

I'm experiencing something unusual when I go to the bathroommy urine's getting split into two streams. It's flowing clear and everything, but it's kind of odd. A couple of days ago, I had this pain and sensation while peeing, and the doctor said it was an infection, so I took some medicine and that part seems better now. What I'm wondering is, should I be worried about this split thing, and what should I do about it?

The split urine stream, also known as urinary bifurcation, can be caused by various factors, including urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or prostate enlargement; given your recent urinary tract infection (UTI) and resolved symptoms, the split stream might be a temporary aftermath, but it's essential to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying conditions and determine the best course of action.
