Yes, you can likely use your Ayushman Bharat card for kidney stone surgery. Ayushman Bharat, also known as Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY), covers a wide range of treatments, including those related to kidney stones, within a specified coverage limit

I've been dealing with some issues since I was diagnosed with a kidney stone about 10 days ago. I took Tamsin medicine on the night of January 28th, and the next morning, I fainted and had really low blood pressure, like 9060. Since then, my systolic blood pressure's been high, between 140-160, even though I stopped taking the medicine. Its concerning because I also get numbness in my arms sometimes. Could you help me figure out whats going on? Here are some of my blood pressure readings: On January 29th, at 9 am it was 9060, then 16080 at 11 am and 3 pm, and 15080 at 7 pm. On January 30th, it was 13080 at 10 am and 15080 at 8 pm. Then on January 31st, it was 12480 at 9:30 am, and on February 2nd, it was 14080 at 4:30 pm. What should I do?
It seems like you may have experienced a side effect from the Tamsulosin medication, which is commonly used for kidney stones but can sometimes cause low blood pressure and dizziness. Since you have already stopped the Tamsulosin, but are still experiencing high blood pressure and numbness in your arms, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to manage your blood pressure by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I've been diagnosed with venous leak and heard penile implants might be the only solution are there other treatments or methods to fix this without surgery? Really worried about going under the knife and looking for alternatives
Other options include PRP, shockwave therapy, and vacuum devices—implants are for cases unresponsive to all treatments.
