View allI've been having really bad back pain and the doctor found a 6mm stone in my kidney pipe. They recommended a small surgery like blasting the stone but I'm wondering if it's absolutely necessary or if medicine could work instead
A 6mm kidney stone can be treated with a combination of medications and lifestyle changes to encourage it to pass naturally, or it may require surgery like lithotripsy. The decision depends on factors like the stone's location, size, type, and whether it's causing complications like obstruction or infection

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?
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

Can taking Azithromycin cause any serious heart problems? I've used it quite a bit, but recently stumbled upon this info and it got me a bit worried. Should I be considering different antibiotics? I was on Azithromycin for a 10-day course for a UTI once.
Azithromycin can indeed have an effect on the heart, particularly in individuals with certain risk factors such as existing heart conditions or those who are prone to heart rhythm abnormalities. It is important to be cautious when using Azithromycin and to discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider. If you have a history of cardiac issues or if you are worried about potential risks, it may be advisable to consider alternative antibiotics. I recommend discussing your concerns with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action for your specific situation.
