Found out I have a 19mm right PU junction calculus and a 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis on the right side. Do I really need surgery to remove these stones or are there any medicines that can help instead?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For your 19mm right PU junction calculus and 10mm right renal calculus with mild hydronephrosis, surgery is likely the most appropriate treatment option, particularly for the larger stone. While medications can help with pain management and sometimes assist in passing smaller stones, the 19mm stone is unlikely to pass on its own and may require surgical intervention

View allI've been dealing with a pretty serious issue and I'm really worried about it. Whenever I look at my penis, it seems to be a bit crooked, like it's slightly bending to one side. I'm hoping for some advice or help on how I might be able to fix this and get it to be straight.
Possible Causes_ 1. _Kidney stone_: The 7mm stone in your kidney might be causing irritation, leading to frequent urination. 2. _Overhydration_: Drinking excessive water can put pressure on your kidneys, leading to frequent urination. 3. _Gastrointestinal issues_: Eating more food than usual can put pressure on your digestive system, leading to frequent bowel movements and urination. 4. _Other medical conditions_: Certain conditions like diabetes insipidus, overactive bladder, or urinary tract infections (UTIs) might also cause similar symptoms. _Diabetes Symptoms_ While your symptoms don't directly point to diabetes, it's essential to be aware of common diabetes symptoms: * Increased thirst and hunger * Fatigue * Blurred vision * Slow healing of cuts and wounds * Tingling or numbness in hands and feet _Next Steps_ 1. _Consult your doctor_: Discuss your symptoms with your doctor, especially the kidney stone and frequent urination. 2. _Get a urine test_: A urine test can help identify any underlying infections or conditions. 3. _Monitor your symptoms_: Keep track of your symptoms, including when they occur and any potential triggers.

I'm looking at my semen analysis report and I'm a bit concerned about the results. It says my progressive motile sperm count is 30, non-progressive motile count is 25, and in total, the motile sperm count is 45. I'm wondering if these numbers are okay when trying to have a baby with my wife, or if I should be consulting a doctor to work on increasing that progressive motile count. Is a count of 30 generally good enough for us to conceive, or is there something I should be doing?
WHO standards place desired progressive motility count at 32%. Overall motility at 40%. It may be advisable to visit a sexual health consultant and obtain a more detailed treatment plan.

My foreskin only pulls back to the head of my penis should it go all the way down? It seems to be loosening slowly on its own, but is there anything I can apply or take to help it stretch more without needing surgery?
A partially retractable foreskin may improve with gentle stretching and topical steroid creams. Surgery is only needed if it interferes with hygiene or causes discomfort.
