I've lost about 3 kg this week, but I'm a bit concerned because whenever I'm cycling, it feels like my private area goes numb. I'm also taking Lippo 6 Black as a fat burner. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do?

I'm a bit worried about having to go through the keyhole procedure to remove a stone that's 18 mm in my left kidney. Is there any other method that doesn't involve making a hole in my kidney? Any alternative treatments or less invasive options that you could suggest?

Question

My foreskin won't pull back all the way it only goes down a little before it starts hurting. I really don't want surgery, so what else can I do to fix this? It's really bothering me and affecting my daily life.
