Question

I've been having really bad back pain and the doctor found a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. They recommended a small surgery like blasting the stone but I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary or if medicine could work instead

A 6mm kidney stone can be treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes to encourage it to pass naturally, or it may require surgery like lithotripsy. The decision depends on factors like the stone's location, size, type, and whether it's causing complications like obstruction or infection

I'm a 17-year-old guy and I'm really worried about a few things. I've got a pretty small penis, like about 3 inches, and I've been masturbating every day for the past three years. I just can't seem to stop. I'm also dealing with premature ejaculation, which happens really fast, and there are wrinkles on my penis. Is there any way to increase penis size or help with these issues?
