Hey, so I was playing cricket and got hit with a hard tennis ball right on my testicles. It's pretty painful, and now there's a noticeable swelling. I tried applying ice to the area, and it helped a little, but I'm still finding it tough to walk because of the swelling. What should I do next?

View allfound a 0.5 cm kidney stone on my usg but i don't have any pain just dealing with indigestion and acidity will it go away on its own or do i need surgery for this
nephrologist opinion is advised.

I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.
Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.

I'm experiencing a ticklish sensation in my penis for the last four days after masturbating. I've been drinking a lot of water and peeing frequently, which gives me temporary relief. But during the end of urination, I feel this strange sensation in my lower abdomen, though nothing actually hurts. I'm sure it can't be an STD since I'm a virgin. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
This could be a sign of urinary tract irritation or inflammation. I recommend taking a course of an over-the-counter medication called Phenazopyridine (brand name Pyridium) to help relieve the discomfort and burning sensation during urination. Additionally, you may also consider taking a medication like Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) to help reduce any inflammation in the urinary tract. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out any potential irritants. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
