Found a 6mm stone at the UV junction in my left kidney should I consider surgery or can medication take care of it? Worried about the best approach to treat this
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A 6mm kidney stone at the UV junction may be managed with medication or surgery, depending on the specific situation and your individual circumstances. Medication, such as Tamsulosin, can help relax the ureter and facilitate stone passage. If the stone is causing significant pain or obstruction, or if medical management fails, surgical options like lithotripsy or ureteroscopy may be considered

View allI've been dealing with paraphimosis for a while now my foreskin doesn't retract fully and my frenulum seems too short, maybe frenulum breve. It's affecting my erections and making sex uncomfortable. Is there a safe, non-surgical way to fix this? I'd really prefer to avoid surgery if possible.
For mild to moderate paraphimosis (difficulty retracting the foreskin) and possible short frenulum, non-surgical treatments like gentle stretching exercises, steroid creams, and possibly lubrication can be effective. However, for severe cases or if these methods don't work, surgical options might be necessary.

I've been dealing with a urine infection since this morning. I'm not experiencing much itching or pain, but I feel a constant pressure to pee frequently. There's no intense pain or burning, just a slight burning sensation for a couple of seconds when I actually pass urine. I've been drinking a lot of liquids to help with this. Can you suggest any medicine or remedies since I can't find a doctor nearby right now?
It sounds like a mild urinary tract infection. Continue drinking plenty of water, as this helps flush out bacteria. If symptoms persist or worsen, take a urinary alkalizer like potassium citrate sachets (e.g., Cital) to ease burning. Seek medical advice soon for a proper antibiotic if needed. Rest well!
