I don't usually masturbate regularly, but when I do, I end up with this annoying pain in my lower back that sticks around for like a week or more. If I happen to do it again before the pain goes away, it just gets worse. The pain's really bothersome, making it tough to walk or even lie down comfortably. I'm thinking it might have something to do with my prostate gland, but I'm not really sure. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

It sounds like the pain youre experiencing could be related to muscle strain or tension in your lower back, rather than directly involving your prostate. However, if the pain is persistent or worsening, I recommend consulting a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions such as prostate issues, muscular problems, or nerve involvement. They can help provide a more accurate diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment.

I have an 11mm kidney stone but no pain right now. Can it be removed with medicine or will I need surgery? What are my options?

An 11mm kidney stone may not pass naturally and might require treatment, potentially including medical procedures or surgery. While some smaller stones may pass with increased water intake and medication, an 11mm stone has a lower chance of passing on its own. Treatment options include extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) to break up the stone, ureteroscopy to remove or break up the stone with laser or other tools, and in some cases, percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) for larger stones.
