My penis size is very small and thin only 3.5 inches when erect. I really want to increase it. Does jelqing actually work? Also, does low testosterone affect size? And if there's a hormone imbalance, is it possible to grow my penis without surgery?

There's no scientific evidence that it works, and it might cause side effects like pain, irritation, and bruises. Rarely, jelqing can cause curving of the penis or erectile dysfunction. Talk to a doctor or sex therapist before you try jelqing or any other technique you find online

I'm dealing with a 3mm stone in my left kidney. I'm curious if there's any general medicine in homeopathy that could help me pass it. Also, is there something preventive I could take to avoid future stones?

3mm stone will usually pass through urine on its own, no need of any treatment, but keep yourself well hydrated all time so that you can avoid formation of stone further, Regarding alternative medicine sorry I have no knowledge in that so cannot advice you.
