My mom had an ultrasound that showed a 20 mm simple cortical cyst in the lower pole of her right kidney. Two months later, another ultrasound from a different lab showed the cyst grew to 30mm x 23mm in the same kidney. Is this size concerning and does she need surgery for it?

My boyfriend is 19 and his penis size is around 6 inches. We're wondering if there's a natural way to increase it. Could you give us any advice on this?

Penis size is largely determined by genetics, and at 19, most men have reached their full physical development. Natural methods such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and managing stress may improve overall health, but there are no proven ways to significantly increase size. If there are concerns, consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is always a good step.
