Found a 5.7 mm stone in my right distal ureter near the UV junction on a CT scan. I've passed stones before but no pain right now. Is this one small enough to pass on its own or will I need surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 5.7mm kidney stone in the distal ureter, close to the ureterovesical junction (UVJ), has a chance of passing on its own but may require medical intervention. The exact likelihood of spontaneous passage depends on various factors, including the stone's shape and composition. While you haven't experienced pain, it's essential to monitor for signs of infection or pain and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance

I've got phimosis and talked to a urologist who suggested going through with a circumcision. I'm really scared of surgeries and was hoping for another way to treat it. He mentioned that the situation is quite tight, so I'm wondering if there's a different approach. Also, do adults get stitches after circumcision? How long would I need to stay in bed, and how many days will it take for everything to heal completely?
I understand your concerns. Unfortunately, if the phimosis is severe and cannot be resolved with other treatments, circumcision is often the recommended option. Yes, stitches are typically used in adult circumcision, and most people need about 1-2 weeks of recovery time, with complete healing taking around 4-6 weeks. Its important to follow your doctor's aftercare advice for the best outcome.

I have a tight foreskin and I'm worried it might cause problems with sex later. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?
Tight foreskin causing discomfort during erection may respond to corticosteroid cream and stretching;circumcision is an option if non-surgical fails.
