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've been dealing with a kind of mild to medium pain in my testicles and I don't have any other symptoms. The doctor checked me out and mentioned something about slight epididymitis and put me on levofloxacin antibiotics. It's been about 10 days on the meds, but I'm not really seeing any change. Any idea why it's not improving? How long does it normally take for epididymitis to get better, and do you think trying a different antibiotic might help? I'm a bit worried and would appreciate some guidance.
Continue same treatment.

I've been feeling a burning sensation when I pee, and it's there even when I'm not using the bathroom. I keep feeling like I need to go all the time. This has been going on for the past couple of days. What could be causing this?
You may have a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Nitrofurantoin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine to help relieve the burning sensation during urination. Remember to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection.

I'm 28 and can't retract my foreskin when erect, plus it's painful when I try. Is this phimosis or paraphimosis? Are there non-surgical treatments or should I consider surgery? Is surgery safe at my age or are there side effects I should know about? I'm really concerned about this.
It's likely you have phimosis, a condition where the foreskin is too tight to retract. This can cause pain, especially during erections or attempts to retract the foreskin. Non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or exercises can help, but surgery (circumcision) might be necessary for severe or persistent phimosis. Surgery is generally safe and can be effective at relieving symptoms and preventing complications
