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 allCan spermatocele be treated effectively with Ayurvedic medicines or is surgery the only option to get rid of the cyst
Most spermatoceles remain small in size and cause few or no symptoms. You don't need treatment if a spermatocele doesn't cause pain or discomfort. If you have long-term pain or discomfort, a provider may recommend surgery to get rid of a spermatocele

I'm thinking about getting circumcised because my foreskin is becoming an issue when I'm trying to clean my penis. Do you think this is a good idea?
Circumcision can be a good choice for some men, especially if there are ongoing issues with hygiene or foreskin-related problems such as phimosis. Consulting with a urologist is the best course of action to help you make an informed decision tailored to your specific needs and concerns. They can provide a full assessment and ensure that circumcision is the appropriate choice for your situation.

My frenulum feels tight when I'm erect but in flaccid state the foreskin moves down fully My doctor said it's frenulum breve and recommended frenuloplasty I'm confused about which option is better stitchless frenuloplasty or the one with stitches What are the pros and cons of each
Frenuloplasty, a procedure to address a tight frenulum (frenulum breve), can be performed with or without stitches. Both stitchless and stitch-based frenuloplasty aim to lengthen the frenulum and allow for normal foreskin retraction.
