Question 1

My penis has a 30-degree curve to the right side, and I think it might be because I sleep on my stomach. Are there any home remedies, habits, or medicines that can help straighten it without needing surgery?

Accepted Answer

A 30-degree penile curve might be related to Peyronie's disease, a condition causing scar tissue to form inside the penis, leading to curvature, and can sometimes be painful. While sleeping on your stomach could potentially contribute, it's best to consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment options.

Question 2

Found a 5.7 mm stone in my right distal ureter near the UV junction on a CT scan. I've passed stones before but no pain right now. Is this one small enough to pass on its own or will I need surgery?

Accepted Answer

A 5.7mm kidney stone in the distal ureter, close to the ureterovesical junction (UVJ), has a chance of passing on its own but may require medical intervention. The exact likelihood of spontaneous passage depends on various factors, including the stone's shape and composition. While you haven't experienced pain, it's essential to monitor for signs of infection or pain and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized guidance

Question 3

I'm really confused about my recent urine test results. It seems like every time I get tested, the RBC count comes back as 23 HPF with a weak reaction. I also had a KUB CT Scan and Ultra sound, plus urine Cytology and a PSA Blood test, and all those were normal. Out of 67 urine routine tests, two of them showed 56 RBC. The CT scan did show a 2mm renal calculus below my left kidney. Since everything else is normal, I'm having trouble understanding why there's still blood in my urine. Is this something I should be worried about, and do you think getting a Cystoscopy is necessary to figure out what's going on?

Accepted Answer

yes

How many times is normal to urinate at night?

If you find yourself waking up to urinate more than twice each night, you may have a condition called nocturia. This is most common in people over the age of 60 or in some medical conditions.
