I found out I have mild to moderate varicocele in my left testis after a Doppler test and ultrasound. Could prone masturbation be causing this? What should I do next is surgery necessary or are there other options?

Varicocele is not caused by masturbation. Mild-to-moderate cases are usually managed conservatively. Surgery (varicocelectomy) is needed only if fertility is affected or pain persists.

I have a 6mm kidney stone stuck in the middle of my left ureter and really want to avoid surgery if possible. Are there any medicines that can help pass it naturally? I've heard stones this size can sometimes be treated without surgery but not sure what options work best.
