My ultrasound showed a 6mm stone in my mid ureter with a dilated pelvicalyceal system and proximal ureter. The kidneys look normal otherwise. Should I go for surgery or can drinking lots of water help pass the stone naturally?

I've been diagnosed with varicocele in my left testicle and really want to avoid surgery. Are there any medicines or natural treatments that can help cure it? What options do I have to get back to normal without going under the knife?

there's no guaranteed cure for varicocele without surgery, several non-surgical treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and improve your condition. These include scrotal support, ice packs, and pain medication. In some cases, embolization (a minimally invasive procedure) may be an option instead of surgery
