View allMy frenulum got cut during sex with my girlfriend and now there's just a little pain left. Is this normal, or should I see a doctor?
Give it a rest for a week, that is no sex or masturbation, it should heal just fine as it doesn't sound deep. Avoid putting any type of cream on it just keep it clean and dry as possible and you will be fine... Don't apply cream as it keeps the wound moist and it will not heal for ages. Stop sex etc and if you see no improvement then as bad as it seems, you need to seek medical advice. .

I'm dealing with a stubborn 6 mm kidney stone at the UV junction that's causing mild hydronephrosis in my right kidney. The doctor put me on urimax 0.4 mg for 10 days. It's been 15 days now, and the back pain is still around, sometimes even getting unbearable. We're trying to flush it out by drinking lots of water, but it seems like nothing's changed. What should we do next?
The medication prescribed by your doctor, capsule Urimax 0.4 mg, is commonly used to help pass kidney stones by relaxing the muscles in the urinary tract. However, since the pain is still persistent and sometimes unbearable, it may be necessary to consider a different approach. In this case, you can discuss with your doctor about adding a medication like Tamsulosin (Flomax) to help with the passage of the kidney stone. Additionally, if the pain continues to be severe, your doctor may consider other interventions such as lithotripsy or surgery to remove the stone. It's important to keep hydrating well and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about a kidney stone I have that's 1.2 cm; it showed up on a CT scan. I've been to a specialist hospital, and they mentioned the possibility of laser treatment. Is there any way this can be treated with medication instead? What should I consider?
