The incubation period (time of exposure to time symptoms begin) varies with the microbe. In general, common urinary tract infections with colonizing bacteria, like E. coli, varies from about three to eight days.

My doctor found a 12 mm stone in my bladder and recommended laser lithotripsy. I'm a bit nervous about surgery are there any other treatment options I could try first?

I've noticed that my left testicle is quite a bit larger than the right one. The left one is around the size of an egg, while the right is more like a 2 rupee coin. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be an issue? Please help me figure this out.

It's important to monitor any changes in the size of your testicles, even without pain. A significant size difference could be due to various factors, such as a varicocele, hydrocele, or other conditions. I recommend seeing a doctor for a physical examination and possibly an ultrasound to ensure everything is fine.
