I've had paraphimosis for about 3-4 days now and it feels like something's stuck under my foreskin when I pee, just a little bit. I've been masturbating daily and pulling my foreskin back for weeks could that be the cause? Is there any way to fix this without surgery?

It's possible that your daily masturbation and foreskin retraction are contributing to the paraphimosis, as it can lead to inflammation and swelling. While some cases of paraphimosis can be treated without surgery, it's crucial to seek immediate medical attention, especially if you're experiencing pain or difficulty urinating

I have a 12mm kidney stone and my doctor recommended surgery but I'm really hoping to avoid it. Are there any other options or treatments that could help pass or dissolve the stone without going under the knife?

It is impossible to pass a 12 mm kidney stone as it is too big to move through the urinary tract. Also, such a big kidney stone is highly unlikely to dissolve through oral medication and thus requires surgery for safe removal.
