What size of kidney stone can be removed without surgery if there are stones in both the left and right kidney? I'm really anxious about whether it's possible to deal with them without an operation.

my penis hasn't grown since childhood and stays around 3 inches when erect is this normal or could there be an underlying issue are there any surgical options to address this

A penis length of around 3 inches when erect may suggest a condition called micropenis, which can have hormonal or developmental causes. It's important to consult an endocrinologist or urologist for proper evaluation. Surgical options like penile lengthening procedures exist but are considered only after medical assessment and counseling.

I'm 22, and I've noticed that while my penis foreskin retracts normally, it doesn't pull back when I'm erect. The tip stays covered, and I'm not sure what this means or what I should do next. Could you help me figure this out?

When the foreskin of the penis can't be pulled back over the head of the penis, it's called phimosis.consult general surgeon

My ultrasound report shows a 6mm calculus in the right lower ureter, about 1 cm from the UVJ. Do I really need laparoscopic surgery for this or are there other options? I'm a bit worried about the procedure and wondering if it's absolutely necessary.

A 6mm ureteric stone close to UVJ usually passes with meds‚Äîsurgery is for pain, infection, or if not passed in 2‚Äì4 weeks.
