A 1.5 cm kidney stone causing frequent pain may require surgical intervention, depending on its location and how it's affecting your urinary flow. While medication can help with pain management and potentially assist in passing smaller stones, it's unlikely to resolve a stone of that size without other treatments.

Question

I'm a 27-year-old guy dealing with a really embarrassing problemI'm experiencing excessive precum leakage. It's been tough to manage, even though I've cut down on masturbation over the last year. Even a single seductive thought can trigger a lot of leakage, and it's really noticeable, especially when I'm with my girlfriend.

I'm worried because I'm planning to get married in a year or two, and this is affecting my confidence. What should I do? Really need some guidance here.
