Can lithotripsy work for a 22mm kidney stone? I'm really scared of surgery and hoping there's another option
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Stones that are smaller than 2 cm in diameter are the best size for SWL. The treatment might not be effective in very large ones. SWL is more appropriate for some people than others. Because x-rays and shock waves are needed in SWL, pregnant women with stones are not treated this way.

I'm a 40-year-old guy, married, and I've just been told I have an STD. I'm trying to understand what symptoms to look out for in men so I can see if they match up. Is this something that'll affect me for the rest of my life? Could I actually die from this? And after getting treatment, is there a chance it'll come back? Also, can I pass it on to someone else?

I'm trying to understand more about semen analysis. Can you explain what it's all about and how it's actually done? What's the purpose of it, and are there any side effects I should know about? Also, what's the typical cost and how long does it usually take?
Semen analysis is a non-invasive test to evaluate male fertility. It assesses sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors. There are no significant side effects, but some men might feel anxious.
