How long does kidney stone surgery usually take and can it lead to kidney failure if left untreated? My doctor recommended surgery but I'm worried about the risks and recovery time
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Kidney stone surgeries vary in duration and can potentially lead to kidney failure if left untreated. The surgery itself typically takes between 20 and 45 minutes, but recovery time can vary. Left untreated, kidney stones can cause chronic kidney disease and kidney failure

View allI'm really concerned because I've been noticing issues with my sperm count and the quality just doesn't seem right. Could this be affecting my chances of having kids, and what steps should I be taking to improve this?
For low sperm count and quality, you can consider taking a combination of medications such as Clomid (Clomiphene) and HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) to help increase sperm production. Additionally, supplements like Fertilaid and FertilAid Countboost can also be beneficial in improving sperm count and quality.

my dad has a 7mm calculus in his left mid ureter and the doctor recommended urs surgery can we wait a bit longer to see if it passes naturally or is surgery urgent
A 7mm kidney stone in the left mid ureter is unlikely to pass spontaneously, and surgery (URSL, or ureteroscopy with laser lithotripsy) may be recommended. While you can explore waiting a bit to see if the stone passes naturally, especially if pain is manageable, surgery is generally indicated for stones of this size. However, discuss this with your dad's doctor to determine the best course of action, considering his individual situation.

I'm 17 years old and my penis is 4.7 inches when erect. I know this is considered an average and sufficient size, but I really want to increase it for my own satisfaction. Is there any chance it might grow as I get older?
