Question

I've got kidney stones in both kidneys some are as big as 15 mm and others around 6 mm. Since they're too large to pass on their own, is it usually possible to remove all of them in a single surgery or would I need multiple procedures?

15mm kidney stone typically requires surgical intervention. Stones this size are unlikely to pass naturally and can cause complications if left untreated

Question

I've had a 12mm kidney stone that showed up on a CT scan on 8417, and although I didn't have issues with it at first, I've been dealing with constant back pain for the past three days, especially after eating or drinking anything. I thought it might be muscle pain and took ibuprofen, but that only made things worse. Last week, I felt nauseous and vomited for three days straight, and while I haven't vomited since 9617, the nausea is still hanging around. I'm starting to worry and wonder if it's time to see a doctor or head to the ER. Is the ER the best choice in my situation?

I've noticed that my left testicle is quite a bit larger than the right one. The left one is around the size of an egg, while the right is more like a 2 rupee coin. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be an issue? Please help me figure this out.
