A 6mm kidney stone in the mid-pole of the left kidney is unlikely to pass naturally and often requires medical intervention. While it's possible to pass a stone of this size on its own, the likelihood is significantly lower compared to smaller stones. Surgery might be recommended if the stone is causing severe pain, infection, or a blockage

I'm really worried about the effects of over-masturbation. I've been dealing with early ejaculation, hair loss, semen leakage, fatigue, and weakness for the past five years. Can you tell me if these issues can be reversed and what steps I should take to improve my situation?

Over-masturbation itself doesn't directly cause severe health issues like hair loss, fatigue, or semen leakage, but anxiety or guilt around it can lead to stress, which might worsen these symptoms. Addressing underlying stress, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and seeking professional guidance can help improve your condition.
