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'm worried because my sperm liquefaction time is over an hour. Everything else in my sperm report looks normal, but I'm concerned this might be affecting my wife's ability to conceive. Do you have any advice on how I can reduce the liquefaction time?
Liquefaction time is a measure of the time it takes for the semen to liquefy.semen liquefaction should take 20-30 minutes. With liquefaction time, infection and dehydration could be the cause of liquefaction.... If it's dehydration you don'tworry... If it's due to infection it has to be treated...

I have an 8mm stone stuck in my upper ureter and have been taking both homeopathic and allopathic medicines like distone. My doctor suggested surgery saying it might block urine flow if it stays, but it's been 20 days and I'm peeing normally. Can an 8mm stone still allow urine to pass through a 45mm ureter without causing blockage?
needs P/E for better advice.

I'm really concerned about my father's condition. He's had an enlarged prostate for the past two years, and despite taking medication, there hasn't been any improvement. The report says his prostate size is 284435mm, with a volume of 24cc, and it's mildly enlarged with normal echotexture. He still has to rush to the toilet frequently. What should we do next? Is there any other treatment or approach we should consider?
I understand your concern, and I'm here to provide you with accurate information. _HIV Symptoms and Timeline_ HIV symptoms can appear anywhere from 2-4 weeks after exposure, with most people experiencing symptoms within 2-3 weeks. The fever you experienced within 18 hours of exposure is unlikely to be related to HIV. _Other Possible Causes of Fever_ Consider other possible causes of your fever, such as: 1. _Other STIs_: Chlamydia, gonorrhea, or other STIs could cause fever. 2. _Viral infections_: Common viral infections like the flu or a cold could cause fever. 3. _Allergic reactions_: An allergic reaction to something else could cause fever. _Reducing HIV Risk_ Although you used a condom, the 5-second bare skin contact may pose a minimal risk. However: 1. _Condom efficacy_: Condoms are highly effective in preventing HIV transmission when used correctly. 2. _Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)_: If you're concerned about HIV exposure, consult a healthcare provider about PEP within 72 hours of exposure. _Next Steps_ 1. _Get tested_: Consider getting tested for HIV and other STIs 2-3 weeks after exposure. 2. _Consult a healthcare provider_: Discuss your concerns and symptoms with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance. Remember, it's always better to err on the side of caution and consult a healthcare provider if you have concerns about HIV or other STIs.
