Found a 3mm calculus in my reports is this something that requires surgery or can it be treated with medications? What complications should I be aware of based on the sonography and CT scan findings?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 3mm calculus might not require surgery unless it causes significant pain, blockage, or infection. Medications like alpha blockers and drinking plenty of fluids can help in passing the stone.

View allI have multiple kidney stones with mild hydronephrosis my KUB sonography shows a 15mm right PUJ calculus causing mild hydronephrosis and a few small left renal calyceal stones plus a 9mm distal ureteric calculus causing mild proximal hydroureteronephrosis My urologist recommended laser lithotripsy with stent placement but I'm wondering if homeopathy or ayurveda can help avoid surgery The doctor said it needs urgent removal due to the hydronephrosis but how long can I delay it Is a 15mm PUJ stone too big for homeopathic treatment
Surgery recommended methods are shock wave lithotripsy,ureteroscopy,percutaneous nephrolitomy etc depending on the stone size.Here ureteroscopy is advised.

I have an 18mm stone in my renal tube but haven't had any issues for a year can it be treated with just medicine or is surgery necessary? How safe is surgery and what would you recommend in my case?
Kidney stones should be removed by surgery if they cause repeated infections in the urine or because they are blocking the flow of urine from the kidney. Today, surgery usually involves small or no incisions (cuts), minor pain and minimal time off work.

I'm really worried about something and could use some advice. If my penis only goes about 2 inches inside the vagina, is that enough to cause pregnancy? I also have issues with penis erection and premature ejaculation, and it's causing me a lot of stress. What should I do?
A penetration of at least 4-6 inches is generally considered sufficient for sperm to reach the cervix. I have some sexual problems with penis erection and premature ejaculation. For erectile dysfunction, you can try using Viagra (Sildenafil). For premature ejaculation, you can try using Priligy (Dapoxetine). Make sure to consult a specialist before starting any new medication.
