My dad was diagnosed with kidney stones 11mm in the left kidney and 4mm in the ureter. He also has diabetes, high BP, and cholesterol issues. Is surgery really needed for this, and if so, what type would be safest considering his health conditions? Really worried about the risks.

View allI'm really worried about my sexual performance lately. I can't last more than 23 minutes after insertion, and I've been wondering if my habit of almost daily masturbation could be affecting my stamina. Lately, my penis doesn't get as hard as it used to, and I'm having trouble with insertion too. Could these issues be related to my habits, and what can I do about them?

I'm dealing with an 8mm kidney stone in the upper pole and a 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction. Is there any way to treat this without going through surgery, or is surgery my only option?
The 8mm stone in the upper pole kidney and the 9mm stone at the vesicoureteric junction (VUJ) may be treatable without surgery, depending on symptoms and stone composition; options include Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) to break down the stones, or medical expulsive therapy (MET) with medications like alpha-blockers to help pass the stones naturally; however, consult a urologist to determine the best course of treatment based on your specific situation.
