I'm a bit concerned because I've noticed that one of my testicles, the left one, hangs lower than the right one. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

I'm really confused and worried right now. Yesterday, I had a really bad stomachache and ended up going to the hospital. They gave me an injection for the pain, and after some time, I started feeling better. The doctor took an X-ray and showed me that I have three kidney stones, about 8mm each. He prescribed medicines for 5 days but recommended that I get laser surgery to remove the stones. I'm not sure if I should go through with the surgery. Is it possible to avoid surgery and get rid of the stones with just medication? I'd really appreciate your advice.
Given the size (8mm) and number (3) of kidney stones, laser surgery (lithotripsy) is a common and effective treatment, but it's not the only option; your doctor may consider medical expulsive therapy (MET) using medications like alpha-blockers (e.g., Tamsulosin) to help pass the stones naturally; however, the success of MET depends on the size, location, and number of stones, as well as your overall health, so it's essential to discuss the risks and benefits of both surgery and medical treatment with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

I'm really worried about this S aureus balanitis thing. I have these bowel issues and some impetigo on my foreskin, and it's been treated but I'm still in a lot of pain all over my body. Can you tell me if this is normal or if there's anything else I should be doing?
You can use a combination of topical mupirocin ointment applied to the affected area three times daily and oral antibiotics such as cephalexin 500mg four times a day for 7-10 days. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry. For impetigo on the foreskin, you can also use mupirocin ointment. For body pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest.
