My dad has kidney stones one is 7mm and the other is 15mm. Because of the bigger stone, his kidney has swollen a bit. Is homeopathic treatment a good option here?

I'm dealing with a curve in my penis that bends to the left, and it's making me feel really self-conscious. Is there any specific exercise I can do, or a proper way to masturbate, that might help make it straighter?
