The 'rock', also know as kidney stones, may very well pass all on it's own. That is what usually happens, though it may be very painful in the process. In certain cases where the stone is too big, ultrasound may be used to shatter the stone in small enough fragments so that it can pass freely.
Enlarged prostate, commonly known as BPH (Benign Prostate Hyperplasia), is a fairly common condition in older men. It is not dangerous nor is it cancer. It is characterised by slow urination, painful urination and in some worse cases, it can even narrow the urethra some much that no urine can pass at all. In this case, a catheter
may be used to allow urine flow. There are medications available to assist men with this condition. And there are surgical procedures also for more advanced cases.

What to do if you have enlarge prostate?
An enlarged prostate is common among men middle-aged and older. There are supplements, such as saw palmetto, pumpkin seed, and lycopene, that can help with urinary problems associated with enlarged prostate. Many men's formula vitamins contain some, or all of these. You should ask your doctor before any taking any supplement to treat enlarged prostate. Your doctor can prescribe medications for enlarged prostate as necessary. Some of the more common prescription names are Flomax, Avodart, and Proscar. Well-formulated prostate supplements have had successful reports, especially the ones that contain beta sitosterol. This nutrient, derived from plants, has been studied extensively and is known to support anti-aging of the prostate. It also supports healthy urinary flow and functions. I think that more doctors should start prescribing nutritional supplements for prostate health as men reach their 40s and 50s. This is much better than taking conventional medication for prostate support which has side effects in the long run. There is much information on the Internet you can find on beta sitosterol.
How is the prostate gland related to fertilization?
The prostate gland itself isn't directly related to fertility. But there is a connection. For example, if you suffer from BPH (Benign prostatic hyperplasia—a fancy way of saying that the prostate is enlarged), you may experience trouble urinating, because when the prostate swells, it constricts the urethra—the tube takes urine from the bladder. Some drugs that are prescribed to treat BPH and to make urination easier can erectile dysfunction or a reduction in the amount of semen that’s ejaculated. Both can have an effect on your fertility. Other BPH drugs can reduce your sex drive, lower your sperm count, and negatively affect sperm health. Certain surgeries designed to treat an enlarged prostate and improve urination can cause retrograde ejaculation, causing the sperm you would ordinarily ejaculate during sex to go into your bladder instead of coming out of your penis. No sperm = no fertility.
