Had URS surgery in November 2015 for stones but now after 3 months there's mild pain again. What could be causing this and are there any precautions to prevent recurrence? How quickly can stones come back after surgery?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Mild pain after URS surgery, even 3 months later, could be due to various reasons, including a new stone, residual tissue irritation, or incomplete stone removal. To prevent recurrence, focus on hydration, dietary changes like reducing sodium and oxalate intake, and addressing any underlying medical conditions. While individual recurrence times vary, some studies suggest a median time to recurrence of 12 months after initial URS and SWL procedures, with a higher rate of repeat procedures after SWL compared to URS.

View allMy dad has kidney stones on both sides and I heard berberis vulgaris mother tincture might help. Is it really effective or does he need surgery for this?
It helps in diluting the stones and breaks them into small pieces. These very small pieces of kidney stones can then easily pass through the urinary tract without obstruction. In most cases, Berberis Vulgaris does wonders and brings positive results in the condition of kidney stones in a very short period of time.

I've been diagnosed with a grade 2 varicocele on the left side of my scrotum should I be rushing to get surgery or is it okay to wait? I'm really into gym workouts and sports does having a varicocele mean I have to stop those activities completely? Also, is there any link between varicocele and frequent masturbation could it make the condition worse? If surgery is needed, which option is better laparoscopy or embolization?
With Varicocele Grade 2, you can still go to the gym, but take precautions to avoid exacerbating the condition: avoid heavy lifting, bending, or straining, wear supportive underwear or a jockstrap, and take regular breaks to rest and elevate your scrotum; however, consult your doctor or a urologist before starting

I've just got my semen analysis results, and it shows pus cells in my semen at a level of 3045. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this. On the results, my sperm count is 36 million, morphology is at 70%, and everything else seems to be within the normal range. Could you help me understand what's going on and what kind of treatment I might need?
The presence of pus in your semen, also known as pyospermia, can be caused by various factors, including prostatitis, epididymitis, urethritis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI), and despite your relatively normal semen analysis parameters (sperm count, morphology), it's essential to consult a urologist
