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

I'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...
