Four years ago I had a ureteroscopy to remove a 4-5mm blockage stone in my ureter. Now I'm having pain on my left side and my recent ultrasound showed a 2.5mm stone in the mid calyx of my right kidney and a 2.9mm stone in the lower calyx of my left kidney with mild pcs dilation. I really don't want another surgery are there any other treatment options for these stones? What would you suggest?

Given your history and the current situation with 2.5mm and 2.9mm stones, the most likely recommendation is to wait and monitor the stones and your pain levels. Smaller stones often pass naturally, and observing them is a good first step. If the pain becomes severe or you have signs of infection, further intervention might be necessary

I've been struggling with low sperm motility (10-30) and bilateral varicocele grade 1 for five years, which is why we haven't been able to conceive. I've been taking Lineatormaxosal with coenzyme Q10 for two years, but my urologist now recommends varicocelectomy. I'm unsure which surgery would be better open varicocele ligation or laparoscopic. What are the pros and cons of each?

I'm dealing with erectile dysfunction and was wondering if it's okay to take Tadact 10 mg every day. How should I be taking it, or is there another medication you recommend? I don't have any other health issues.

Tadact 10 mg is a brand name for Tadalafil, which is commonly used for erectile dysfunction. You can take Tadact 10 mg as needed, approximately 30 minutes before sexual activity. Alternatively, you can also consider taking Viagra (Sildenafil) or Levitra (Vardenafil) as alternative medicines for ED. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
