Persistent pain due to E coli infection

I’m 24 male from Mumbai. A 3 years ago, I was diagnosed with an E. coli infection in semen which was causing post-ejaculation pain. After completing treatment, the pain has reduced significantly overall, but I’m still facing some issues. I still get a spike in pain during ejaculation, especially when the penis is not fully erect. This happens quite often during nightfall, where ejaculation seems to occur before full erection. I’ve also noticed that I’m not getting strong erections like before, and ejaculation often happens before full erection along with increased sensitivity. There is no major pain during the day otherwise. Should I consult a urologist again or see an andrologist for this? Is this a normal part of recovery or something that needs further evaluation? Thank you.

Kindly stone

I have a 10 mm stone in my right upper ureter. I want to undergo non-invasive surgery. Is there any surgery available on the Ayushman Card that can be performed without an incision and also remove the 4 mm stone in my left kidney? I don't want to undergo PCNL surgery, and RIRS surgery is not available on the Ayushman Card. Ursl surgery can only remove stones stuck in the lower ureter.
