My ultrasound shows a 6mm stone in the upper ureter near the left kidney with mild hydronephrosis and hydropelvis. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm wondering if the stone can pass with just medication instead

I'm a bit concerned because I masturbated today but didn't ejaculate any sperm, though it felt like I did. I recently found out I have a 5mm kidney stone and have been on medication for a couple of days. Could the meds or the stone be affecting this, or should I be worried about something else?

I noticed a lump in my left testicle and after looking it up online I think it might be varicocele It doesn't hurt but feels uncomfortable Do I really need surgery for this and if so how long can I wait before getting it treated Im 22 and a bit worried about what to do next
Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.
