My penis curves to the left and I'm a bit worried is this normal or could it cause problems? I'm 20 and male, and I'd like to know if there are any natural ways to straighten it without surgery. What can I do?

A mild curve in the penis, especially if it's present since puberty, is usually normal and not a cause for concern if it doesn't cause pain or interfere with sex. However, if the curve is new, worsening, or causing problems, it could be Peyronie's disease and should be evaluated by a urologist. Gentle stretching exercises or vacuum devices may help in mild cases, but avoid aggressive methods.

I've been dealing with phimosis and heard steroid creams might help which ones actually work and how do you use them properly? Is surgery the only option if the creams don't help, or are there other treatments? How long does it usually take to see improvement with the creams?
Steroid creams can be an effective conservative treatment for phimosis, reducing inflammation and loosening the foreskin to facilitate retraction. Betamethasone, hydrocortisone, and triamcinolone are commonly used according to Medscape. Surgery is generally considered the gold standard for adults, while creams and stretching exercises are often tried first. Improvement with steroid creams can be seen within 4-8 weeks, with a higher success rate when combined with stretching exercises.

I'm dealing with kidney stones in both kidneys, each about 34 mm, and I'm experiencing severe pain in my left flank and back. I tried taking Drotin, but it didn't help. The stones are in the upper pole of my left kidney. What should I do next? Any advice would be appreciated!
Most kidney stones won't require invasive treatment. You may be able to pass a small stone by: Drinking water. Drinking as much as 2 to 3 liters a day may help flush out your urinary system. Unless your doctor tells you otherwise, drink enough fluid mostly water to produce clear or nearly clear urine....Pain relievers. Passing a small stone can cause some discomfort.
